    Putting short wagon springs on a lifted chassis like the forester or outback is not the best idea. The subframes have 30mm spacers so they only have to make longer struts instead of all different suspension components (IE. control arms, lat links, axles). The best bet would be to find some shorter forester springs or remove the lift kit, put in regular GC struts and springs from there. Just my $.02

    yeah... i know about how far camber can get out of wack with lowered stuff, but i thought if i had a set of factory ones it would be 3/4 of an in lower, still in the meat of the camber range

    I have a set of 02 WRX wagon springs/struts/tophats I'm looking to sell. They are from an automatic so the rear springs have a higher spring rate then the manuals. Spring rate chart: http://www.northursalia.com/techdocs/spring/spring.html.

    Looking to get $135 delivered to the Twin Cities area.
