hey all

time has finally come to get this lowered impreza XV back to the gravel roads.

2010 impreza xv . Gh7 2.0 auto

currently it has stock struts with SSL king springs
ulrex 18inch wheels
22mm front and rear whiteline sway bars
adjustable sway links
rear diff support
anti lift kit
lateral sway locks
-----------------------------------------------
I WOULD LIKE TO -
raise it back up stock height + 2 inch SLO kit
dynamic steel wheels +30 offset
yokohama geolander tyres
mirack PS swing out spare hitch

could anyone please help with what to do strut or coilover wise ?
i need coils or springs and struts
wheels
tires
hitch

sont want to go more than 1.5- 2 inch from factory as im aware the impreza XV ran forester struts and may already have the trailing arm spacers . but i would like to know if anyone can suggest the best way to go ive had coils before and it was in a gtb wagon very harsh ride

id be happy with long coils or some KYB , pedders and springs to suit

Matt Chaplin any chance you could advise a full package for me :) plzzzz

TIA all
ps car is used daily and wknds im either out finding places on unsealed roads or fishing spots and camping , nothing crazy

Calling @NachaLuva

Be aware that +30 will add more stress to the suspension; any reason you want these particular wheels? A taller tyre has more advantage off-road than a wider tyre.
I'm happy with the Geolanders GO15 and also GO16 on the ute but I think there is a new one now - GO17 but may be too heavy for the Subies
As many know I won't go near Pedders ever again after two bad experiences - I swear at them - but others swear by them :)
