Used the Forester as my work car yesterday and today, oh boy, so, so fun. I can't wait to lower it (a little, no slam!) and get rid of the body roll, it actually handles pretty well but I'm sure dropping it a couple of inches will make it feel like it's on rails.
I'm getting used to the brakes but I would like to upgrade them as much as I can without breaking the bank. Lines, pads and rotors will have to do and should do the trick, no? From the factory it was rated at 240bhp, I'm sure it's lost a few horses along the way but it still kicks like a mule, I would like a bit more confidence in the stopping department.
Gold rims are between seller and middle man at the moment, they'll soon be here, hope they fit. Then tyres, still mulling over that decision. And then I need to figure out if I'm gonna go all out and put BC coilovers in or just lower it with the suspension off an early 00s WRX, apparently this is the common, 'inexpensive' fix. Any advice greatly appreciated. 🙏🏼🙃
