Relative bought used. Thinks it is too low.
Measured ride height, center of wheel to wheel arch (fender) as per repair manual. 14.6 inches front, 15 rear. Specs 15.2 front and 15 rear. So, a bit sagged on the struts.
Tire size 205/55ZR16 on car. Look to be stock size. not sure if the Z makes them squat. Not expecting to go that fast.
The previous owner installed some performance wheels. Look to be 7 1/2 inches wide at least. Looking to go back to stock rims.

Could someone measure ride height from the pavement to the wheel arch with stock tires and wheels? Trying to decide where to start with raising back to at least stock height.

Thanks in advance
 
When were struts last done? Often neglected maint replace. Likely toast. Imprezas are low to begin with. If ya got the cabbage look into lifted ones. Check rallitek.
 
My daughter has our 14 impreza at school so sorry cant get u a measurement now. What is mileage. But if struts are original they were toast many years ago. New ones ..even base stock will transform the ride tremendously. Thats where you start...regardless.
