Forester S Turbo - To Stance or not to Stance

[Trif0rce]

My girlfriend's outback wagon will be sporting racelands this coming spring. I recently moved to an area with much smoother roads, so they'll hold up just fine. They'd be a decent option for a foz that's just a daily for some extreme low. I think it'd look great slammed to the ground like those other two, there aren't any sexier suv's than foresters on the ground.

I'm not saying racelands are good products. They're not. But for $459.00 they're not bad. I had luck with the racelands on my last subaru though they rode fine for coilovers, wasn't even that bouncy honestly, and the body is threaded so you can spin them down while still having decent suspension travel. I'd recommend them on subaru's.

Cheers Trif0rce. I think once I get the dicking around/softroading thing out of my system I may throw in some impreza springs or coilovers, but atm its very comfortable lol.

Our roads are shit here so I want it to still be able to handle them on the way to rallys, etc.

Also debating some khaki green plastidip...



I suck at photoshopping :P

Slammed, the sterns and some plastidip...

Went out to see if there was snow. Left this note, came back to find the knife. Not sure if subtle warning or not.

It's a great Fozzy to start with!

But you can't go both ways, just lower it with the struts from the WRX, and create a good stance with some good wheel/tyre choice
The green wrap would be a nice choice!

Still hoping that you'll drop it even more

[FancyGoLF]

Dump this!!! You have oil pan clearance like crazy! Seriously though... Wrx coilovers drop in. Do EET. Dope start

I wish mine was turbo

I like the look of this one :

Fuck I havent posted here in a while.

From me saying I wasn't going to do much to this, well..I have.

Impreza Springs were fitted, gave a 2 1/2 inch drop, still not low, but a lot better looking. Will do for over the winter until I can afford some BC BR coilovers.

STI Front lip and fog covers fitted, STi rear spats are on their way to me, and I'll be ordering up an STi wing and skirts soonish, a long with a Zero/sports waist spoiler.

Wheels, well I put some Impreza WRX wheels on for a while until something nice came a long...

Would like another inch or so lower, but will see how low I'll go when I get the coilovers in!

Much better!

[Tinners]

Indeed lol and I just went and bought new seats for it. Sigh, I spend money too fast.

My SSR Viennas fitted...

LOOKING PIMP, man.

Where'd you find vienna's in 5x100? lol

[xmax92xd]

Is it still an auto? because if it is you need to get on a 5 speed swap asap...

Awww yeh

Japan

Nah an importer friend mentioned he had found a set, showed me them and gave me a really good deal on them. Could do with being refurbed, but I'll do that at some stage

Is it still an auto? because if it is you need to get on a 5 speed swap asap...

Yep still an auto.

I'm in no rush for a manual swap tbh. If and when the engine shits itself, I plan on upgrading to a full impreza sti running gear and engine, but until then, the auto does just fine for beasting Civic Type Rs :P

[Tinners]

Spats arrived today, wheel has been dispatched and collected a full WRX interior (I've no need for the rear seats, so if anyone wants an 01 wrx rear bench, let me know lol)

Hopefully get them painted and on this weekend and the seats fitted also.
