How much is wrx wagon suspension new?

I'm looking for a set within a month for my forester.. I would rather buy new if it wasn't too outrageous. What can I expect to spend for struts and springs from a dealer? Can anyone get any deals at Subaru? Thanks,
-Garrett

 

I would expect that to be crazy high to get new. Why not just find used? There are a bunch of people on the forum that could help you out with that.

Also, make sure you get the wrx wagon springs (the sedan ones will cause nasty rear-end sag)

 

I wouldn't call it nasty rear end sag but it aint nice...
but yeh.. buy used... or go aftermarket if you are willing to pay new from a dealer..

 

^ clean looking foz

 

haha nice pun....

 

The WRX wagon suspension has different front stuts than the sedan version, not sure what the Forester has....

 

I used sedan stuff I believe in mine.. 04. got the butt sag.. but am trying to figure out the route to go now.. Mike Wagner is pushing me into ground control like what he has on Brians old wagon... but I also like the whole setup I installed on his blue wagon....

 

stock wrx struts are cheaper then kyb gr-2 struts I believe!! check the minnetonka subaru discount thread in the vendor section.

 

Order a set of wagon springs this would be the easiest. I love my Tokiko's if you want to go with new, check out CVR motorsports.

Or maybe I would be willing to sell my stuff, I am thinking of going to coilovers.

 

I also swear by the tokico dspecs

 

I think you get points here for swearing

 

**** the points! long live the dspecs!

 

lets talk about this

 

for the forester you want the sedan struts with wagon springs, or stiffer aftermarket sedan springs. The sedan struts will give you around -1 degrees camber. The wagon struts are closer to 0.

 

if you are interested in 04 wagon struts with wagon specific Swift lowering springs, i have them for sale, PM me if you are interested.

 

they gave me -1.6

 

i'll have some wagon struts/springs available for sale in about a month. about 30,500 mi. on them by then. They are off a 2.5i, so the spring rates are slightly lower, but i don't know that it's by a whole lot.

 

+1 for used. Either that or buy aftermarket. Either way will be cheaper than oem new. :laugh:

The Nasioc For Sale section is your friend, but sticking to MN will help with that whole shipping thing.

I like how there's a ton of talk but OP hasn't responded once, lol.

If funds are sufficient, one would generally go to the Tokico D-Specs + some form of sedan springs with rates appropriate for the desired end goal.

As far as the rear end sagging, yes, it looks low. This is more of an illusion though. The chassis will ride flat. However, the fenders are cut uneven, the rear cut lower than the front. This makes the rear end look saggy although the chassis is actually sitting flat relative to the road. To fix this look factor, you either run springs that lower the front a little more than the rear or add spacers to the rear (look at Saggy Butt Shims via Turn in Concepts).

Also, when going to sedan struts, the rear spring perch sits 0.6" lower than the Forester struts. A 26" tall tire will stiff fit but not a wide one. If you plan on running 215, 225 wide tires, you will be fine at 26". If you plan to run 235, 245 wide tires, you'll want to step down to 25", otherwise you will run into the tapered section of the spring perch.
