Taught only by the best. However, I'm not sure their pep-talk worked.

Our 09 Forester handles like a real SUV. Some GR WRX struts and STI sway bars would do it well

I'd be plenty happy with just an STi rear sway bar. It already handles quite well for what it is, and I like having the ground clearance for going off on trails. The STi rear sway bar would probably give the Forester just the right balance of handling and capability, at least for my needs.

I agree with you. I mean it's not terrible, but it could use some work and it does push in the corners. However, our XT is my wife's ride, and she already made it clear that she doesn't want me messing with it... maybe when I need to replace ball joints or something I'll sneak in a matching set of sway bars
