Hi,
How do Forester Sti's drive? My previous car was a 2007 WRX wagon with powerstation stage 2 suspension upgrade (Prodrive springs, whiteline ALK, ARB and drop links). Before the modifications I didn't like the handling of the impreza, will I be disappointed with the forester Sti?
AFAIK the centre diff is not adjustable but by having a front LSD (which the WRX doesn't have) it should eliminate understeer?
Cheers

 

I didn't know the forester STIs had a front LSD. is this in addition to the rear AND centre LSD?

That's pretty impressive, never realised the Forester Sti was so quick!

 

Shame they never bought it offocially into the country

 

I've been toying with idea of getting a forester xt for the lady, has the 2.0 turbo engine. Can't stretch to an sti I'm afraid!

 

Put a F.A.O Blue dragoon on the wales section and he'll tell you all you need to know

 

I have sent him a PM but ain't got a reply yet.
AFAIK he recently sold his FSTI

 

I have just bought a MY02 S-Turbo 170bhp from the factory. Have just added a vf22, STi tmic, total de-cat system, fuel pump and remaped untill the puny 380cc injectors coudn't take no more.

This along with the whitline droplinks and STi rear antiroll bar has made a car/4x4 that is able of embaracing most other cars on the road.

 

not had the pleasure of driving a STI version but was given a 06 plate when turbo when my p1 went into the dealers and have to say they are very good as they are based on the impreza chassis and setup imo due to the extra height and the fact that same as the newgare cars weight really came from the waste up (impact bars etc) it felt that it had more body roll but as i say that was not a sti they may be different but hey i am sure with a set of AST's same as the t25 and some whiteline bits that would sort that out. best thing is to test drive one and see what you think.
