LowDownFo!!! Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Had my 2001 Forester S turbo for about 10 months now. It came dropped already, but now i've got a heavy thud coming from the nearside rear, every time i go over a bump in the road. Almost like it's bottoming out on a bump stop. No broken spring etc & car still sits level so i am assuming it's the shock gone. Looking at a set of coilovers for it but unsure of which Impreza ones will fit. Would anyone here know which ones i would need to go for? Cheers. Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Speak to Sean whiffin at subaru forester parts. He will be able to source a set of bc's with a correct spring /valve rate to accommodate the extra weight. Pedders do lowering kits that offer better ride comfort but still with a drop like this Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I wouldn't waste money on BC coilovers or coilovers in general for road use, they are junk, valving is poor and strut stroke is way way too short a travel range, they turn into a corroded mess in 18 months and will leak if on rough roads or venture down tracks a lot with your forester .. coilovers are totally useless for UK B roads if you know anything about suspension and how it should work . Pedders dropped struts about best sensible option for road use and cost to you . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
