I've seen STOCK springs unseated from the spring perch... our '98 came with this problem when we bought it a few years ago. Given enough abuse or improper installation, anything could happen. Is it very likely? I think it's more likely to bend a strut or control arm, in my experience. :shrug:My dad would drive the forester once in a while and he's quite aggressive with it, not slowing down enough
when hitting speed bumps or off roading that'll cause it to lift off the ground for a short duration that's why I worry.:crazy:
Under such condition, would it be fine to install the swifts?
I see your concern, it's understandable. Driving like that the struts will most likely get blown out quicker than otherwise, but I still doubt the spring would get unseated. Even if you extend the strut all the way, like if the car was in the air for a while, the Swifts will still be compressed and should stay put.

Thanks for the swift response!:rock:I've seen STOCK springs unseated from the spring perch... our '98 came with this problem when we bought it a few years ago.

I agree, I have them with the sti rsb and its a nice combo. It also towed out bike no problem with no extra rear sag.congrats on the new springs. You'll probably find that they handle best with some extra weight in the car because of their progressive spring-rates.
If you want things even better, you should get an STi swaybar for the rear if you don't already have one.
