From what I read here they use the 2004 STi suspension setup? How low can I go with the forester? I dont want something that handles like a boat or a typical SUV. I hate SUV's but I was wondering if the Forester drove kinda like a legacy or impreza? After i've lowered it of course. I have about 4 inches of ground clearance on my legacy right now, is it possible to have a Forester that low aswell or will it mess up the whole geometry and will handle like garbage?
An '04XT would be my choice. This model year has the same feel as my '03, plus it's already setup with a turbo. I can't wait to start boosting the power on an '04XT! I'm looking for one, but haven't found one yet that meets my criteria.

My '03 isn't lowered, but with 235/50-17 performance rubber & heavy duty front & rear swaybars, see my post here RalliTEK Front & Rear Sway Bars, plus AVO Endlinks installed on my '03 I can take twisty roads as fast as I care to drive.

I was going to install Swift Sport springs, have a set, but I've decided I like how my '03 sits.
