    not sure which spring I should get as I have a bit of a frankenstein car haha Car is a 2008 WRX Hatchback with Koni yellows for the '08 wrx but the front strut housing is from an '09 Forester. Would it be best to get the '08 WRX specific King "Lift" springs from primitive racing in USA or...
  2. Forester 2003 XS: Lift and larger wheels advice

    I have a 2003 XS Forester. I'm currently looking to get new tyres - moving from stock 215/60R16 tyres to Bridgestone Dueler D697 215/65R16 tyres. I am investigating the benefits of a lift - and wondered before I buy these tyres - if I had a lift as well, if this would mean that bigger tyres...

    Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a while and finally had a question I felt necessary to ask: I ordered the Sumo 2" lift kit and trailing arm spacers a little over 2 weeks ago. Immediately after placing my order, I sent an e-mail asking about the typical turnaround time on these orders...

  5. Stock sway bars vs stiff sway bars for lifted subie

    Hi guys... After sifting through the forums for a while, I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I have an 07 Forester with 1" springs and 2" body lift, and popped on some bigger tyres as well. After about 6 months like this, the handling feels a lot looser and top-heavy...making...

    Lifting and caster

    Has anyone noticed a reduction in caster after fitting lift blocks? Is this something that should be corrected for along with camber? I realise that the A arm swings down in an arc so camber would be affected more but surely adding ~7% height between where the top mounts and the bottom connects...
