I’m looking for performance parts for the front end on my 2014 Subaru Forester XT Touring.

LCA, end links, ball joints, bushings etc. any recommendations/suggestions??

I’d like to do it all at once…

What do you mean by "performance"? Are you planning to autocross your Forester? Are you looking for off-road performance? Are you trying to turn your FXT into an FSTI?

Good question… kinda none of the above. It’s mainly a street/road ride with some minor off road, maybe 70/30. I’d like something that performs better than OEM and might last longer.

I would recommend going through the Members' Journals | Subaru Forester Owners Forum for ideas on what might fit your needs.
When I got my Forester, I went through these to see what parts would be a good idea to upgrade.

15+ WRX and STI aluminum front control arms. If your oem control arms mount to a stud for the rear bushings, then you'll also need the 15+ bolts. For the front bushings, just get new oem and have a shop press them in.

Unless you're running a bigger swaybar or your endlinks are worn, nothing wrong with sticking with new oem.

A roll center kit by Whiteline or Superpro (ball joints and outer tie rods) is a nice kit, even if you're not lowered.
