  1. Steering, Suspension and Handling
    I'm looking to add more caster to my alignment. Wondering if anyone is running these or at least knows if they are a direct fit on an SJ. If not, has anyone installed WRX/STI front struts on their SJ and stock top hats? This would also answer my question From an online ad:
  2. Lighting and Electrical
    I need some direction, new Lady Subi Owner. I understand this is a forester forum; again: please forgive me. I have looked endlessly and can’t find any directions on how to replace instrument panel lights, nor what size lights to use as it is. I am looking to upgrade from the stock bulbs that...
  3. Motor Conversions
    I have a fully stock 99 forester. I wanted to know if it was possible to put an STI engine in it. Also, if I did go that route, would the stock transmission be able to handle it? How much would that cost me? Is the time money and effort even worth it? Thanks!

  9. FA20DIT - 2.0L Direct-Injection/Turbo (2014-2018)
    Hey guys, Is anyone running the Carven Single Exit Exhaust on their cars? I’ve been looking into changing out my nameless for a single exit and was wondering if anyone has this installed on their car. I’m pretty sure it’s a direct fit with a few minor differences since it fits the 15+ WRX...
  10. Brakes
    Hello, I have a 05 XT and I'm looking to get better and bigger brakes. From what I have heard, 04 Sti Brembo calipers fit the 05 foresters, but those are a bit outside of my price range. Since the 04 Sti calipers fit, would that mean that an 04 Wrx caliper could also work? If not, any other...

    Ok, so you all know it... The 08 FXT brakes are whack! I know, I know, I gotta get the brembos from an 04-06 STI, bla bla, kartboy thicker parking brake shoes and adapter plate, yadda yadda. I've gone down that rabbit hole. It's ends $2500 in the hole. But do I need the brembos? Probably not...

  15. Motor Conversions
    I was wanting to put a turbo in my 02 Forester (ej25) but I've heard they don't handle boost very well. So I was wondering if it's possible and what I would need to put a wrx engine from the same year in it.
  16. Transmission and Driveline
    Hey guys! I have been a member here for a while. Most because my wife has a SH forester N/A. I bought a 14 SJ FXT and love it. I was wondering if there is as forum here or if anyone has done a 15+ wrx 6spd MT swap into the SJ. I saw the STI swap but was wondering if anyone has done this with the...

    Hey guys 😊, just got my hands on a 2007 Forester x model & she needs some work. struts need replacement so I figured I’d lower it with some from a wrx. She also needs an exhaust and I was wondering if the Spec D wrx N1 would fit on it? Looking forward to your responses & I hope I can be of...

  19. Steering, Suspension and Handling
    Ok, is there anyway the sway bar in these pics is from an 04 STI? The "C" endlinks say to me that it's from a WRX and being 20mm of the 02/03 era. Is there anyway this could be an 04 STi but somehow with different end links. I've just purchased this thinking it was an STi for my 06 Forester XT...
