dogmad riley 1,347 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Yes they went to the self levellers on the SG5 model which where shite. The shockers not the car. Pedders do a direct replacement which are good especially if going off road. Have heard of people using discovery springs which new shocks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will be my second forester. Will be beefing up the rear suspension with disco springs I think. Cheaper than buying pedders again 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
