bratman18 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Just use complete strut assemblies from an 02-07 impreza or wrx. They bolt right in and lower a forester. It's a great set up. And a lot cheaper than coil overs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) dunno how much shipping would be, but I have a set of springs off my 06 wrx wagon. less than 1900 miles on them. I'd like to get $40 if that doesn't seem unreasonable. know anyone headed your direction from DFW?

bratman18 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 You'd have to get Impreza struts to match those^springs. You don't want to put Impreza springs on Forester struts or it'll wear the struts out much quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naldo Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 alright guys a lot of people are saying to buy Impreza complete struts assembly Where can I buy a set of those and how much lowered can I get from those struts not looking to lower the fozzy too much just so she has a stance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) check RockAuto. I THINK there may be some spring+strut assemblies there, or maybe Amazon? usually, folks are just buying struts. Check prices on KYB struts. Then maybe shop for some used WRX wagon springs? check around here too for ideas;http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/ Edited April 16, 2014 by 1 Lucky Texan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Look on nasioc or a local subaru forum. People sell sets of strut assemblies all the time. Usually 300 or less for a set of 4 ready to bolt in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
