Some early Subarus had an adjustable suspention, like my 86 Loyale wagon for example.
So maybe a lift is as easy as adjusting it?
Take a look at the coil springs in front for an adjuster set up, and as I remember in the back it was like a motorcycle shock, turn the collar for more lift.
Of course any modification to the suspention requires a four wheel alignment.
We also would advance the timing just a little bit, like 12 degrees BTDC , instead of the stock 6BTDC. (or whatever it was, we are talking 20 years ago).
Another thing we would do is carefully drill out the plug that covered the idle air/fuel mixture screw at the front of the carburator base.
This way we could richen the mixture "for improved driveability".
Of course if you drill incorrectly, you now have to replace the carburator.
