@Raz007 - what are you running? I think you are one of the lowest SJs and you know quite a bit about this topic.

 

I'm not sure about swapping in the STI suspension on the SJ's, but I can tell you that a set of RSR sport springs will drop you 1.5 inches from the stock height. Couple these springs with an STI rear sway bar upgrade and some good tires (wider) and presto you've got a big WRX that is easy to get in and out of.

Welcome btw!

 

Right on, I may have to go with that set up! Id like to see if i could lower it closer to 3 inches, but i think id be satisfied with that. Definitely would like to see what others have done to there Foresters

 

I was looking around on here and found that Raz007 uses Feal coil overs, which happen to be just a couple hours south from me. They make coil overs for the 14+ forester xt, looks like ill be copying Raz007 on his drop height and camber adjustment (with the STI rear sway bar)

 

Yup, I have the Feal 441s. You can get your 3 inch drop easily, but remember that in doing so, you'll need to also get adjustable rear camber arms and toe arms, unless you want to run way out of spec. You'll also need to think about tires, as my stock rubber did rub while turning, and also on big dips hit at speed in the rear. So it's possible to go low, but it ain't cheap :wink2:

 

Welcome to the forum from Georgia, and good luck getting your new Forester set up the way you want it.

 

Thank you! A few years ago i wanted a WRX but ending up with a 2006 Volvo S60 R(which i love), so I'm pretty excited to be getting a Subaru!

 

Yeah, sorry to rain on your parade! Haha it's not cheap, but it's worth it in the end. I have so much fun in my FXT....... I don't miss either of my WRXs anymore.

 

I was also looking to buy these

Did you ever get to install them on your Forester? If so... how much did it get lowered? How did it improve?
