Default Suspension trade

I'm contemplating trading my springs and/or shocks for something that's not so low, as sexy as it looks. I don't have a problem with scraping (almost never scrape), I just like playing in dirt/sand. Previous owner says it has Perrin springs on the stock shocks -- springs and shock are both pink. Shocks say 'Subaru' and 'KYB' on them (?). It isn't too stiff (will jar you over rather large bumps/holes), and handles very nice. Front suspension clunks a little when turning at low speeds (like parking) but it hasnt caused a problem. Tech at Fitzgerald said it's the spring rotating in its mount and is normal (okay....?).

Anyway, I'm looking for something not so low -- probably stock springs/shocks and a little money, plus you pay for the swap or we do it together...

Any interest?

I am getting some N1s for my Legacy in about a week, and you are welcome to my old shocks if you want them. Bolt pattern is identical to WRX, except that the front upper mounts are rotated about 170 degrees. If you have seperate camber plates or don't care, they'd be a great fit as long as WRX and STi mounts aren't retartedly different. They dampen pretty well when they have some preload on them (read: Not on Outback springs)

LMK, we could work something out if you're interested.

The car sits even - it looks like it sits lower because the rear wheel well opening is smaller. I have some pretty good pictures of the way my car sits, if anyone is interested.
