Springs or Coilovers

Featured Replies

hello guys I am trying to lower my 05 Forester X I am currently on a budget and cannot afford 1000 dollars coil overs , I was currently looking into buying Tein springs which are not expensive any suggestion on springs or coil overs that are good an wont brake the bank

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.

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?

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.

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

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? :D

 

 

check around here too for ideas;http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/

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.
