Mr B Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Be careful lowering foresters as if on SLS rear struts you will need change them as well. Most people swap to impreza struts-springs as cheap used part option so find what works with you forester version & go hunting. Is a few specialist breakers but they are never the cheapest & subaru used parts hold good value due to demand & low number of subaru vehicles in the dismantling networks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james26 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 See I went for wrx rear shocks but the rear sagged bad a few other fozzie owners have said just lowering for springs would be best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james26 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Didn't even think of the self levelling suspension what would i need to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 change struts to standard non SLS. If SLS faulty & got saggy rear then worth mucking with but if in good order I would leave alone & spend money on checking all suspension bushes are in good order & buying quality tyres/wheels perhaps Lowered foresters tend to be a worthless job unless done well. We done a 2.5XT & rather than lowering we used KYB struts to replace worn SLS & fitted custom rated standard height springs all round to give firmer ride & little less body roll. Problem with impreza suspension swap is you need do some homework so use a good donor option plus you need buy good used 100% standard rather than half dead & fitted with unknown non standard springs, buying suspension used is a risky game.

stants Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Can you not get a set of springs custom made ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james26 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Would cost a nut and with the self levelling suspension would be pointless lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
