looks cheap

That's me - i've always been a cheap bastard.

Very NICE!!!! What size are the rotors?

330mm F & 300mm R, IIRC. I'd have to go fine the original spec sheet to be definite.

[rorge]

Oh wow 330fronts and 300rears! That baby must pull up awesome!!

My mate has the 300mm DBA6000's up front and i thought they were da bomb!

I know I asked you a million times already, but what spring/strut combo did you come up with?

I'm hoping that with WRX wagon springs & maybe STi struts it will handle much better, but won't look slammed & give the game away.

No where as good as GBeard setup!!!

MY05 WRX struts with MY05 STI springs, direct bolt on. STI springs drop it ~25mm more than normal WRX springs. Would be too low for what you want tho, even WRX springs will be ~50-60mm lower than stock.

Found the spec, being from Uhmerica they're in inches
F 12.90"
R 12.19"

Rotor size helps but pads make a bigger difference. Have 3 different compound wilwood pads. I had dba rotors once-upon-a-time. 644's(?) or somthing was a while ago.
The wilwoods are from 2004 onward I think. The chronology all blurs together after a while. The forester has been throught three major stages
2.0
2.5
2.8
the pics used to be in a sensible order but phuckedbucket has randomised the pics & I cbf fixing them. should keep you amused for a little while tho'.

Forgive my stupidity, but what is that gizmo on the strut bar? I mean I can take a guess but what it looks like it does, but yer.

Remote damper resevoir,

Flux capacitor?

I think I could cope with a 50mm drop, that would make the clearance 150mm which is stock Impreza height. As long as it doesn't look slammed then I would be OK, and I'm sure that with the stock WRX ride height there's enough daylight in the guards & you could fit chains.

They're not going to get under it with a measuring tape or anything, but I don't want to make life difficult.

[mx6KLZE]

A forrester must be better then a WRX then, my mates WRX cant go through time.

[GHaST]

forester not forrester ... they spells it teh wrong!


anywho, I've got a GT - and the main reasons was the 2k cheaper insurance.
Winding the boost up to 12psi meant I could pull away from (assumedly) stock wrx's.. *shrugs*

great car, in fact I love the GT looks over XT's... just wish I had a 2.5L

nitrogen reservoir and has the high & low speed compression damping adjusters.
(rebound adjust is on th ebottom of the strut)
I forgive ignorance but not stupidity.
