mad4it 694 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 yes there is a kit to lift the forester, I havent heard about disco springs going on them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lucky 578 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Disco or defender springs fit and give them a good bit of lift compared to the weak forester springs. My forester turbo has exactly 12 inch of clearance under the diff and doesn't sit at all when it's fully loaded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RossM 8,119 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's a lot of shite, any more info on the disco spring option? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lucky 578 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 It's an easy job took me about 2 hours on my own, and did it on the driveway just take the full strut off, compress the spring and undo the top, take the old spring off, put the disco spring in and put it all back together. Remember to use discovery front springs on the back of the forester because rear are longer and it won't have any give in the suspension. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
