most Subaru's look like they sit the front higher due to mainly the arch design........in reality thye generally sit slightly nose down.........measure the sill heights front and rear to get a proper idea of whats happening and aim for approx a 10mm rake (lower at front than rear)

as for how low?? all depends where you drive, ramps, etc. encontered??
as a general guide a std car can be dropped around 60mm and still be reasonable day to day

My wagon was lowered 50mm when i got it. found i couldnt get it on my drive and speed bumps killed me! I've put it back to standard and i know how you feel. Really doesn't look right! I'm thinking 35-40mm for me but each to there own
