Well, here are some pics of my car. For those of you that don't know, it started its life as a 160HP Automatic POS. My dad and I picked it up at a local auction for $300. It's been a great ride ever since. All of the work was done at my dad's Subaru Shop in NW Portland. www.simplysubie.com

How does she handle with the raised rear end (in comparison to the front)?
Ive noticed that last year Subaru WRCars had the rear raised in an efort to get better turn in so im just wondering how it handles as road car.

Is does rather well. Tends to oversteer more than before. The back end likes to come around a bit more. Now with new struts, it handles great compared to before (3 blown struts).

Thanks guys, I'm glad nobody has trashed the height of the rear yet. I am trying to find a set of 89-90 Whiteline lowering springs for the rear!

The EJ20G is the engine that came stock on 89-94 JDM, EDM, and AUS Legacy RS's. The USDM and Canadian models had the EJ22T.

I'm sure otherr members on here have way more info than that.
