2018-2023 Subaru Crosstrek 1.5" Strut Spacers W/ Multi Link Spacers

For the Japanese spec XV. Turns out it needed extra brake line extension for the rear. Wish directions were more like Service Manual and not a confusing essay.

Before I had these spacers, our sex was so boring, I could seem to keep my wife happy in bed. Now with these extra 1.5 inches, my ego and my sex life have drastically grown. My wife can’t stop talking about how much bigger the car looks and I can’t stop telling my friends about how I have a lunar crawler craft in Southern California or snowmobile in central Texas with my extra 1.5 inches. Now I can totally destroy the wilderness and start more forest fires on the backroads like every other idiot. Damn if only those Subaru engineers weren’t so short to begin with (in so many ways) I wouldn’t have wasted 600 dollars to inflate my sex life. Of course till I wreck the car and get a new one with my insurance, these spacers saved my marriage!!! Good job for this testosterone boost!

I have installed 4 of these lift kits already and just placed my order for the 5th. They fit great every time with no issues. The ride quality is awesome as well. None of the cars had any issues getting to factory alignment specs and all customers were very happy! Patrick is friendly on the phone and quick to answer emails. Will be buying more kits in the future!!

I have a 2018 Crosstrek Limited. I put the 1.5 lift with link spacers on, with the 7/8 lift in the back for a level look, and paired Toyo Open Country AT3 tires 225/60/R18 (about 0.8" bigger diameter) with it to use up the available new space. I also replaced the struts with B6 struts from Bilstein, which was quite the improvement in ride.
First impression is the new stance, the car is level. It is at the perfect height for me to get in and out without really needing to bend. If I were to frequently load the rear, I would have done the larger lift in the back but it is rare I load it up that it would sag so it works for my circumstances.

This is my 4th lift kit. This kit was doable but my experience really helped. The kit lists the tools but YOU NEED A 22mm 3/8 drive socket!!! In the middle of the directions it mentions this, not in the parts list or recommended tool list (just says 22mm socket). My rear brake had a longer extension than plans showed (likely because it was a Limited with R18 rims instead of the expected R17 rims); Not all parts fit perfectly for the limited; the brake line extension still worked... it just doesn't lock in the brake line with the fit. The directions, overall, bounced around; they require a thorough read and you need to read ahead; basically, it said it "will" be torqued but you don't torque them till a few steps later. Just read carefully and know the next step past the one you are working on.

I only wish I could edit the directions.
