Tyre sizes
205/70/15 - sw 143.5 215/65/17- side wall 139.75 (closest to ur original specs) 215/50/17-sw107.5 First, what Tidgy said, second, you'll lower car stands with 72 mm ((143.5 -107.5) x 2) with larger gaps between wheels and car body and reduce ur car ability to absorb road bumps/ cracks/ potholes. With this being said, I see no other major problems.

2005 XT Suspension Questions
- 2005 XT Suspension Questions
Still have a set (all 4 corners 2007 Forester JDM) original suspension with 30k miles on them. If interested you can have it and pay what you think worth.- Spongy brakes
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Dag-Q_lP0dOk&ved=2ahUKEwiamM-NyY-MAxXfQkEAHRtxJJEQ9KsOegQIDBAB&sqi=2&usg=AOvVaw2ozEBYvIBDU44l4_f-UR4n Watch the above video. It really works.- Spongy brakes
If new front calipers, new brake fluid and all corners air bleed(in my opinion). If front calipers so corroded rear calipers need a detailed service ...at least. New brake pads would change braking dynamics. New brake rotors would change braking dynamics. New pads and/or rotors does not mean better breaking (I've leaned it the hard/expensive way) High quality parts would fix some of the problems. One more thing to try is going from a 1" master to 1 1/4". My two cents.- JDM rear fog lights - is there existing wiring?
If uk registered has to have rear fog working lights only one side (left side) Please correct me if I'm wrong.- subaru specialist / garage
I can vouch for Tim too. He did all of the above on my new imported jdm forester few years ago. Great work.- Forester STI
You're right, but u can manually shift an 4eat (buttons on the steering wheel to be used in manual mode, similar to padels)- Forester STI
Not sure yet if to let it go, but I've got an jdm(wrx), cross sports, '07, EJ205, 4eat (sport), 50k/ish, first UK owner. Not cheap. If you're interested let me know.- Forest SG5 Body kit
Look for a JDM forester ( cross sports), they usually come with a body kit and a 2.0T- Transmission Fluid 2nd Gen Import
What Judd said. 2007 Cross Sport JDM with 4EAT transmission, transmission oil "refreshed " as through regular procedure you can only drain about 4 ltr. My concern would be that if contaminated with 75w80 (100% sure it's diff oil) a full drain would be necessary. I did it myself with this:- Headlight
Light bulb...maybe?- Head Gasket Fix Liquid Didn’t Resolve the Issue – What’s Nex
...and unfortunately there are two of them, that usually should get changed together.- Head Gasket Fix Liquid Didn’t Resolve the Issue – What’s Nex
There is an easy and guaranteed fix. Change head gasket.- Fuel cut off after hard cornering
In some applications a sensor for oil level cuts out fuel.- Fuel cut off after hard cornering
I may be wrong, but it can be an engine oil level related problem (oil starving)- Rear sway bar replacement
You must be joking.- Coilovers
Flex Z too, but I found the problem. The ARB(22mm) on the softest setting (outside hole) had not enough travel room and was hitting one of the suspension components. Replace it with 17mm ARB (the original) and Bob's ur uncle. Hope it's helpful.- Coilovers
You are not the only one. I've got the adjustable tein and running on almost the softest setting. It looks is not the dampers, is the springs. I've also had the rear 22 mm ARB and replaced back with the original 17 mm. ( the 22 mm is for sale) Looking for ideas too.- Subaru XV- Is my Transmission 5 or 6 gears
As Siluro said, CVT, an infinit number of gears. Look for another mechanic.- Forester XT exhaust
Hi, I've got a back box from a JDM Subaru SG 2007, used but like new. Do a search for "2007 Forester mufler for sale"- 2007 Forester mufler for sale.
@ Dobz- Excessive front disc and pads wear.
EBC and other known brake producers (DBA is my favorite as all their discs are high carbon) offer painted discs. As for EBC pads, Yellow stuff is my favorite. Initial bite is great, low dust and a long life. My car is a daily driver - automatic. In my opinion brakes are brakes, 2 pots,4 pots ....you do your own service or find someone u trust and be OK. Forget dealerships!!!- 2014 Forester 2.0 D
