    Selling complete assembled suspension for Forester 08-13. Comes with 2011 WRX donor struts with Koni inserts and WRX OEM springs. This drops Forester about 1.5-2" but still have plenty of clearance. Spacers can be removed for an additional drop. See picture below as an example of a ride hight. This is the best upgrade for Forester I ever made. $500 obi IMG_0064.JPG IMG_0065.JPG IMG_0066.JPG IMG_0067.JPG IMG_0068.JPG IMG_0043.jpg

    The donors had 25k on them before the inserts were installed. Also, the fronts will not work on 08-10 wrx's because of the difference between the GH and GR suspension geometry.

    What doesn't work about putting 2011 front struts on an 08-10 chassis?

    Well you can but you'll have higher front end and positive camber.

    OK, I agree that the front end will sit close to 1/2" higher than the 08-10 struts.

    But you shouldn't have positive camber. You'll have around 1/2 deg less negative camber, but you should still be able to get within stock specs (or possibly even more negative camber if you'd like).

    I have my Forester (08-10 style geometry) on 2011 struts and I just got aligned today. All are within OEM 2011 WRX specs. None are positive.

    You won't be able to dial in -2.5 deg of camber in the front like I did with my 2011 WRX on 08-10 struts, but you should still be able to get to at least -1.5 deg, maybe even -2 deg.

    Bump. Can fit 2011+ WRX without spacers for the stock ride hight.
