Came for the dropped foz, but... what a lovely pup!
I came in to this video thinking "wheres the SVX??" but you answered right off the bat so thanks for that!
Hey Chris. the saggy butt might actually be fixable by removing spacers, instead of adding them.
The front crossmember on the forester has spacers on them. get impreza xmember bolts and remove them. this will lower the body vs the xmember and rise the engine and stuff up which may require you to swap out the steering shaft for an impreza one or to cut it down a bit and weld the oem one back together. otherwise there might be issues with the steering binding.
It is a lot of work vs strut spacers, but it makes the forester even more similar to the impreza height, geometry and handling wise. I believe SF's and SG are the same here and the xmember spacers can be seen on the xmember behind the front wheel where it bolts up to the chassis. and I think there is no rear xmember spacers, but removing the front ones should help and it is an option to having strut spacers.
Cheers.
nice video man,
I wanted to do same to mine but after you said the wagon rear struts are little longer than the wrx ones I am wondering maybe should be better to search for one of those to avoid needing to add a lift kit, are you truly sure they are longer if so would you say 1'5 inch perhaps?
Looks good. What year impreza suspension did you use for the fozzi?
03-04 will swap right on.
Yeah, Impreza suspension with strut spacers sounds like the ultimate combination!
So can you use normal Impreza struts not wrx
can't wait to see this with big chunky offroaders on! love the vids.
Wrx struts or cheap coilovers for a daily?
Hell yeah man good to see you upload again. Keep up the killer work.
Did you do anything to the standard studs before putting the spacers? In other words, doesn't standard studs get in a way of properly putting the wheels back on? I'm concidering the same 20mm spacers for the same year turbo forester.
Going to be a cool daily. How's the new job going?
I also have 2 white shop dogs. Mum is often not happy....
Newest video so I'm posting here. As for your diffuser (screws and nuts are so bad/tacky) i would like to suggest Chicago screw also called screw post fasteners.
Benjamin Davidson I totally agree. It was on my list of things to change.
It’s all in the little details and those bolts you suggested are perfect!
Thank you!
Oh the details! Hahaha never ending....
Wheres the first impressions video! Would love to see one
I see you have the LS53 engine in it.
That is some proper engine XD
Our new Shopdogs Zorro says Hi =)
Looks good w that drop fo sho .
going the opposite way... i have a roll gt 'im taking the driveline out and putting it in a cheap fwd liberty
love how subaru's are like lego's
Bro after 6years i came here to know, these "wrx struts" is from actual wrx or its some n/a struts? What year and was it Worth it after all those years?
Hey dude. Yup! From a bugeye wrx, can’t remember the exact year.
Definitely worth it and if you’re on a budget, it’s a great way to lower a foz
THANKS FOR THE INFO NICE JOB
First of all. LAKEYINSPIRED FTW!!!!! Second, Subbed!
AGP兆し Lakey is the best!
That's for sure! Lakey has a very very specific sound, easy to tell, but so so so good
Starts at 2:45 ... you're welcome.
tl;dr "New shocks are an inch shorter/lower, but nothing else changed."
Looks good
Thanks dude!
Do you know what year WRX strut assembly is compatible with an 06 Forester?
02 to 07 if it's the WRX, and 02 to 04 if it's an STI.
If you're getting WRX suspension, try get 2005+
Not a 100% with this specific model I have a sf5 s 01 plate and there’s spacers you need to remove on the front subframe (raiser blocks ) that will give you the look your after 😎
its like your in denial of wanting to lower your car...
Anyone know if changing 2009 forester oem suspension to 2010 forester shocks do anything to the ride height
does it have a ej203 in it?
