I just fitted WRX Springs, Shocks and Anti roll bars to my Forester.
It lowers the car by about 2 inches and obviously it makes the setup a little stiffer and you lose the self adjusting rear ride height.
Not yet gone for a proper drive, so will update when done.
I have got new 17 inch wheels and tires but yet to fix them.
EDIT: Will upload some pics soon.
PICS PICS!! this is one very very interesting build!!
What about the weight difference?
Interesting modifications.
@Mura, is turbocharging or engine swap on cards as well? :) What about drum brakes in the rear? I am curious if that can be changed to disks.
I infact have a EJ25 Turbo with a Auto box with me but too busy with other cars to swap.
I also have 4 Pot Brembo front and 2 Pot Rear brakes.
Some Pics:
Car is such a great shape! Looks almost new. Can you post some interior pictures as well?
@iceman91, Both the WRX and the Forester are about the same weight.
@Guna, You can change the rear Drums to discs, but at the stock power levels they are more than enough.
And yes it looks new , it has just covered 19k.
Hey a very neatly maintained Forester!!Congrats, a great ride!!
Btw how is the ride quality after the change and the handling?has the GC decreased?
Just went for a short drive, corners very flat and feels much more stable. i like it.
It is a little stiff but i can manage.
@carfreak , yes GC is lower by 2 inches.

Which means it is down to just 150 mm now! There goes one of the advantage of having the Forester?
A super underrated car that hardly sold. However its a hoot to drive and being a Subie, incredibly well built and reliable. Enjoy your ride!
Your car needs better tyres than those crappy bridgestone H/Ts.
