FORESTER SUSPENTION

[odessey]

Hi guys,

does anyone know if wrx/sti impreza suspetion fist onto the forester?

[Jay762]

There is a thread where Farmerpug details taking sti springs off his forester, so the springs definitely do even if the struts don't

[Gambit]

Yep as Jay said :)

[odessey]

Will that lower it?

[Gambit]

Yeah it will mate a lot . As Jay said if you look for Farmpugs thread he has some pics with before and after he wanted the other way around to you though. so you never know might want to see the other springs off cheap ;)

I hav just put my impreza 99 sport strut and spring on my 2000 forester. and oh yes it does lower it.

mine ok but people on forester forums in Oz and America all complain about **** sag running lines. I am happy with mine its the strut tops that are diff that's all.  

[dogma1]

also forgot to say putting the smaller alloys on 17" it messed my speedo up now runs 10mph less so when doing 30 on speedo I am doing something like 26-28 so no speeding tickets unless I go over speed limit by a lot :D

[Gambit]

Dogma1 get some new pictures up :D I want to see what it's like with the springs on. Don't be shy ;)

[Miggs]

it's made quite a difference on Dogma's, the mudflaps sit about an inch, maybe 2 at the most from the floor, that was using stock non turbo impreza struts and springs, the springs looked the same size but the struts were definatly shorter on the impreza, i think it was the top mounts on the rears had to be swapped as the impreza was different but the fronts went straight on

 

oh and the wheels on his originally were 16" but with MAHOOSIVE balloon tyres, now he has 17" with low profiles

[Gambit]

I've not seen Dogma1's  car yet why is this. Or has he posted in the gallery without me seeing it :)

[Miggs]

he's posted some pics somewhere, i'll go find em

to be fair, these pics do not do it justice for just how low it looks

[Gambit]

Oh I did see the picture's I remember now    minds going :)

[Jay762]

oh dear - keep taking the tablets matey  :D 

[Gambit]

Need more then that :D
