WHAT!

 

Since when do you have D/R foresters with self leveling suspension?

News to me. I've got an '02 S Sport - no D/R or self-leveling. Haven't seen any that do, either.

HANG ON!!

 

You don't need to source an entire car! The self-leveling bit is a small pressurized gas container that piggy-backs on the suspension damper. So you only need to "import" a set of rear struts. And you're sorted

 

 

Hmm, maybe you'd need front struts too, since I can't vouch for the balance between front and rear spring rates.

There's no piggy back canister on my SLS struts (99 S-turbo). Front struts are the same as with ornery sus.
