COBB 15-21 Subaru WRX/STI 1.5in Lift Kit cobb942850

Increase ground clearance and give your Subaru a more rugged, adventure-ready stance with the COBB Tuning 1.5-Inch Lift Kit, designed for the 2015–2021 Subaru WRX and WRX STI. This suspension upgrade provides a practical way to raise your vehicle for rough roads, uneven pavement, gravel routes, and adverse weather conditions while retaining the original springs, struts, and factory ride characteristics.

Unlike suspension lift systems that require replacement springs or struts, the COBB Lift Kit uses precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum strut-top spacers to raise the vehicle approximately 1.5 inches at the front and rear. The spacers feature a hard-anodized black finish and laser-etched COBB branding for durability and a clean appearance.

The kit is engineered with integrated camber and caster offsets to help maintain the factory alignment adjustment range after lifting. Custom adjustable rear sway bar end links allow the rear anti-sway bar tension to be adjusted to suit the new ride height.

By increasing ground clearance, the COBB Lift Kit can provide additional clearance for road obstacles and create more room for compatible larger tire setups. Its bolt-on design retains the factory springs and dampers, helping preserve the original suspension travel and ride quality.

Manufactured by COBB Tuning, this lift kit is an excellent option for Subaru enthusiasts looking to combine everyday usability with a taller stance and improved capability on challenging roads.
