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...

just buy the pink springs.



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

Sure was... man... I wish I had enough money to keep more than 1 car. I think an RS and Forester XT would be perfect...

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?

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

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.
