So I am starting to research new shocks and springs (front and rear) for my '17 Forester Limited NA. I currently have the 1.5" ADF lift w/multilink spacers and have it on pretty challenging roads quite often. I've heard stiffening up the suspension can improve ride quality a good amount offroad...

Hi guys, I will be using my forester as a daily commuter to and from work and for leisure too but I really want to dip my toes in the realm of off roading. I will be buying pilot sport tyres to improve on road handling but will these be OK for light offroading. I guess my main question is what's...

Does anyone have experience with them? Their customer service over email has been great, so I think I'd like to go with them. They also stock SubieLiftOz subframe drop kits to go with their lifting coilovers, and use swift springs, both of which made me feel like they're legit, but I can't find...

Hi all, For what feels like the millionth time, I'm helping a friend find their next car and I've run into the issue that certain aspects of cars just seem never to be published despite the fact that it's a good thing to know and publish on a car regardless of whether or not it's going off...

PREFACE: Alright, this might get pretty long winded, but I have lots of questions. I don't expect anyone to know the answers to all, but any guidance would be appreciated, or if you could link to other quality threads discussing the topics! I have seen some stuff on these subjects but finding...

Hey all, Please don't come on down me too hard for this. About a year back I went off roading and did a trail that was way too much for the forester. Live and learn. Anyways, while on the trail I was burning my clutch pretty bad to get through some obstacles. I started to smell something, I...

I would like to propose this thread as a place where fellow Forester owners can share and discuss their local or country-wide trips. There are a few times, where I have wondered who has done what with their Foresters and whether certain passes or roads would be advisable or not for our...

If anyone is interested in watching my modded '17 Forester in action I just recently posted a video of a trip I did in the canyonlands of Oregon. Give it a like and subscribe if you find worthy.

I made a cinematic video of my trip in a forester converted into a camper I used to explore Iceland. The forester makes an appearence starting at 1 minute, after the narration/intro. Pretty cool river crossing at 2:10 Let me know what you think. I am working on another video with my...

Hey y'all! New member and first post! I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I recently got a 2011 that I really want to put a light off-road kit on. I've been doing a lot of research on different builds and tire sizes/types, lifts and all that jazz; but this will be my first experience...

Hi all, so I have a 2016 2.5i (NA) and I've confirmed fitment of the LP1 15x7 with LP Adventure over email, but I'm still a little concerned about that offset. I'm thinking of putting a 215-75-15 AT tire on there too. OEM wheel offset is +48 and from what I've found the acceptable range is down...

Hey Everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. What're some of the easy beginner trails that a stock 17 can do in Colorado? The only real upgrade I have is AT tires. Looking for something with minimal ruts and rocks. I've looked through the site but I thought I'd put up a post since so...

Hello! As the title says, I am looking to get involved with offroad Subaru clubs in NC. I have a 2017 Forester XT and feel I want to modify it for better off-road capabilities. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or information on how I should start this journey or any communities I can...

Here’s my latest video on my Subaru Channel. Me and a buddy did a Friday the 13th overnighter on Bingham Mtn, a local Jeep trail in North Alabama. X-Mode came in handy a few times and the Subaru outperformed my expectations! Hope y’all enjoy! if you like it, throw your brother a subscription please!

I'm debating between 29" or 28.5" tires for the next go around on tire purchases and was hoping to get some insights from those of you currently running these sizes. I've got the 1.5" adf lift with subframe spacers and plan to put 16" wheels with +30 offset when I get new tires. Looking for info...

I’m trying to price out and find tires and rims for my 99 forester but I can’t find good rims out of Canada that fit the bolt pattern and 15” radians I need

Hey everyone. First post here so apologies if this has been covered. I've got a 2017 Forester limited and haven't seen specific info on whether or not 16" wheels are a viable option in this specific year/trim. I've seen talk of other SJs running the smaller wheel, but couldn't confirm if there...

I purchased my Forester in Aug of 2019. This was my second car purchase (my other car is a 2014 Crosstrek). I was so excited to find an XT in my price range and without a ton of miles, that I didn't take the proper steps to make sure I wasn't getting screwed by the dealer : ( Luckily when I...

TLDNR - Slight rubbing on front. Don't buy. Get the slightly smaller and pricier 225/60/r17. I couldn't find any good definitive answers on tyre sizes in all terrains for the SH around this site. I'de usually be that guy that figures it out and doesn't actually go back and ad my own post to...
