    Lowered my Forester with STi struts and springs. It is slow but it handles much better then stock.

    I have 1" spacers all around. It would have been lower. The height is perfect for me.

    Looks great, any lower at it would draw attention more than the exhaust :)

    I know. Exhaust came with the car not my favorite mod. Might get STi catback instead if I find one.

    Looks good, man. Don't forget to get a 4-wheel alignment.

    Thanks for all good comments. Allignment is done, struts are not repacked, not sure why I would need it. Just need to get rear sway bar to finish up suspension. I get 27mpg with this new Subaru 2.5 engine :).
