  1. Steering, Suspension and Handling
    Hi all! Looking for some alignment advice. My '04 FT is lifted ~2.5 inches on Feal 441s + 3" strut top spacers. The spacers are generic and don't include any camber offset. I had to max out camber plates and install HKS triple C camber bolts to get camber into spec. One of my struts is...

    I was recently gifted a 2011 Impreza outback sport, and would love to make it into a little weekend ripper. I purchased some 17” crosstrek rims, as well as some spacers. They do fit (after some modification), however they’re pretty close to rubbing. I’m wondering how feasible it is to install...

  4. Offroad Suspension
    Hey guys; I’ve got a 2010 xt with a Flatout GR40 suspension kit - I’m having a heck of a time finding front control arms that can accommodate the height I’m looking for while maintaining alignment and not destroying bushings while shredding tires. Can someone point me in the right direction to...

    I want to put a modest 2" lift on my 2008 Forester. What should my new tire size go up to? The OEM size is 215/60/16.

    Hi there! I have Forester wilderness and have a shop installed my ironman 4x4 suspension. The shop did the alignment after the lift onstall and they were able to put the rear in spec but the front is a little bit out of spec but he disclose it to me. Then this morning, I noticed that the front...

    Hi there. I'm planning to lift my wilderness soon and I don't know what I should get. most people are getting the ironman 4x4, it's nice because it's a full suspension but what I don't like is that I will be only getting 1.5" of lift since wilderness already have that 1/2" of lift from factory...

    G’day, New member here from Western Australia. Just want to share my 2021 Forester Sport and see what the rest of you lot have done to them to get that little bit extra capability and how you find the newer model Foresters offroad and in the sand. Ive done a few things over the last year; 2...
  10. Wheels and Tires / Tyres
    Hello, I just purchased a 2019 Forester Premium. It’s not lifted at the moment. I’m just looking to be pointed in the right direction, or even given some answers here regarding lifting it and tire size. I know I would like a 1.5inch or 2inch lift but how do I know what the biggest sized tire I...
  11. Offroad Suspension
    I just purchased a 1” lift from Anderson Design & Fabrication for my 2011 5MT Forester. Prior to my purchase, I scoured subaruforester.org as well as offroadsubarus.com for user experiences about various lift heights. I searched Instagram hashtags for lifted foresters and compared the visual...
  12. Driver-Assist Technology and EyeSight
    I recently installed a 2" lift on my 2022 Wilderness and a few people have suggested that I recal the Eyesight system. Is this something that I can do on my own or should I take the rig into the dealership?
  13. Offroad Suspension
    I recently installed the Ironman 2" ATS lift on my 2022 Wilderness. Everything went smoothly, it was my first time installing a lift so I took her to get her wheels aligned and have my work checked at a garage. They were unable to get the rear wheels into neutral camber. As it sits, both rear...

    Just finished my perfect island car project. Here in the British Virgin islands we can directly import old cars from Japan for pretty cheap, I imported her just after Irma when the Gov suspended customs fees. Subarus are the perfect island cars, but the pot holes and speed bumps here are epic...
  15. Steering, Suspension and Handling
    I am looking to lift the subie 1.5-2" but my suspension is about ready to be replaced too. So I was wondering if there are any suspension options that are 1.5-2" over stock, instead of putting spacers. Thanks in advance!

    Hi All! Been lurking the forum for a while doing some research and think I have a potential setup + path in mind to get my Forester off-road ready but would love some feedback given the wealth of knowledge here and to make sure I don't do anything unnecessary or stupid as this is my first go at...

    Got these mounted today. I have a 2” lift from Ironman4x4 and they rubbed on the inner wheel well guards on the front on full turn in just barely. Tire shop used a heat gun and massages it out. Super digging these so far. They seem to be quieter then my Falken oem tires it came with. Will be...

    Hey, I've been putting too many miles on my Jeep runnin back and fourth from SF to the Sierras. I decided that I need a little mountain runner beater. I've always liked the 06-08 Forester xt, I think it looks the coolest when it's all done up. After a year of looking, (these things are pretty...
  20. Offroad Suspension
    Hi everyone, After introducing myself in other part of this forum I think this could be the right place to ask a few questions. I just got 3" spacers on struts installed. I couldn´t do it myself with only manual tools so I got a mechanic to do it. The issue now is the brake lines are tight and...
