WTB: complete wrx wagon take offs
I'm looking for suspension for the Forester XT I just picked up and think that sticking with OEM stuff is best for now... so, if you've got some stock complete wagon suspension that I can bolt right on let me know! I may just buy them from you...

Hi Joe... do you just have the springs or are they complete take offs? I'm looking for a complete set-up so that I can just bolt them right in...

I've got spec C complete take offs with MRT top hats but I think the forester would be dumped with that set up.

From what I've read the stock suspension from a WRX on a Forester will bring it down several inches...

really? Cool... I may just piece this together... do you have the tophats with the struts?
How much lower are the pinks than the stock springs? Not much if I remember correctly...

the Forester struts & springs are taller then the wrx struts & springs. So WRX springs will not fit a forester strut, the spring would not be tall enough and would damage the strut. It would basically be like running clipped S.Tech springs. the struts get murdered

The pinks with my stock struts? Would that work? I'm new to the Forester... I figured I'd be safe with WRX wagon take offs... you have a wagon, right?

I meant these pink springs.

Yeah stock wrx suspension will lower it quite a bit. I know there are pictures of a dude with a black one with sti take offs and sti wheels. Looks hot.
My suspension would drop it about 10mm more than stock suspension. the spec C stuff is stiff. loved it. Ipozestu's been in my car.
If you're down to do the work I'll let you do a test run on it since nobody is really biting on it right now. Just mean you might have to do the labor twice...not bad though. Done mine a couple times now.

hey Jeremiah, I can grab the struts for you tmr, I also have a set of us sti springs you can have with them too, you would need to source a full set of 04+ top hats but you can have them if you want, we'll work out some kinda trade later
