Hi! I've had 5 subarus now and the one i just picked up im lookin at moding, whats a good solid lift kit to get? I would like 3 inches or more. I have an 02 forester and are the sub frame all the same? So would a 2014 lift fit, and what about trailing arms and everything else? Thanks in advance!
 
Check out Rally Innovations for the lift kit spacers. As for the lift itself, look into Flatout Suspension for their coilovers they sell here in the U.S. I ordered a set for my '18 WRX and will be going the lifted/rally route - at least a 2" lift and removing my sway bars but nothing too crazy!

BTW, the '09+ used an different rear suspension setup (double-wishbone rear suspension vs struts), so none of the newer stuff will work - at least on the rear. And note that going over 2" on a lift can cause extra wear on CV Axles, etc. Buying a complete kit if $$$ is no object is the best way to upgrade.

FWIW, I have a '98 SF (SF = same body / suspension as your '02) and I upgraded to used SG ('03-'08) struts all around (direct swap) and upgraded to 215/70R16 tires and I'm at ~9.5" ground clearance overall.
 
Up to 5cm or 2" its no prob do on any year or model rly. With just strut spacers.
Strut spacers nowadays are sold on official part shops in suspension parts area. Its not rocket science and no need search for custom costly parts if it up to 5cm let say 4cm even better
