does the box on the roof contain 4 spare tires?

something tells me you will get quick uneven tire wear

jokes aside, I really like the look of your Forester.

“Bottom out over a pop tart” might be my favorite Regular Car Reviews line

Your Forester looks pretty sweet though, it takes gut to go with orange wheels but I have to admit they look great on your car.

Lies, it takes paint

Believe it or not I have two tires in it haha. And I actually have less than -3 degrees at ride height so my wear is pretty even.

Well a few things on the list are:

GR Quad tip exhaust (custom fab)
Forester Sport bumper/grill/tailligts
PDR and some paint correction
Axle conversion/control arm conversion to WRX Wagon
6MT
Harnesses/Harness bar
Get my XD9’s on
STI Brembo swap
Add another compressor for my air ride and tuck the wiring
Front mount and a scoopless hood
Get some tint redone
Gauges and a center pod

So much more haha.

Yes they are actually florescent looking in person. Turns a lot of heads.

What engine is in this Forester? Did the US get the 2.0 (131 hp) ?

My father has one like this, and it is such a cool car.

You wanna se a money pit ?

wow. thats hot! glad to hear it’s on air, as it looks awesome... but inoperable in the pics

It is entirely inoperable at that ride height haha. Lots of stuff is touching the ground and the tires are resting on the insiders of the fenders.

So does the camber decrease as you raise the ride height? Fitment looks great regardless, I can like the whole stance thing as long as its on air and not ripping bumpers off when you leave your own driveway lol.

A little bit just based on how the suspension geometry works. Maybe .5 degrees to a degree at most in the rear, fronts not so much.

Say no to the quad tip, 4 cylinders don’t need dual exhaust.

E30Joe drives a Subaru > uofime-2 09/17/2015 at 15:29

It’s single all the way until the rear axle.

Don’t really care if I “need” it. I want it.

to each his own...

Why stop at 4, why not go 8, 12, 16 tips?

E30Joe drives a Subaru > uofime-2 09/17/2015 at 16:06

Because 4 looks good and it’s factory on the STI.

EDIT: You drive a 4 cyl. with a quad tip exhaust.

I know, and it’s stupid and when I get an exhaust for it rest assured it will have a single exit.

Thanks I’ve poured a lot of heart and soul into it. A lot of stuff that almost no one will ever see too but I know it’s there.

Ya know im really not a fan of “stanced” cars but man does that thing look gorgeous! The orange wheels really pop against the black & it looks like you’ve put a ton of work into doing everything right! Air ride is really the best thing if you want form AND function!

Yep I’m loving it so far, stanced when I park, and totally driveable and functional when I’m driving around. Thanks!
