Hey guys, I'm new here so hopefully I'm not asking this in the wrong section. Im going to be getting a 2017 subaru forester XT soon, I use a wheelchair to get around so Id like to lower it as soon as possible. I also want to increase the handling performance and make it drive like a sport car, hopefully like a STI. Would it be possible to fit STI springs/struts ? I saw somewhere on here of someone recommending 2012 STI struts/springs but it didn't mention if/how they would fit and if it needed modification. Plus i the person that made the post didn't go with the STI set up. If the stock STI set up does fit, are there any aftermarket suspension for the STI that would be recommended ? Anyway I'm really curious to here some opinions from some subaru enthusiast, thanks for listening!

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.
