Improving the Forester
Discussion
Evening All,
Im currently the owner of a bog standard 2008, 2.0 XC forester and want to make some improvements...
What I'm thinking of is, a 1" lift and some more rugged all terrain tyres (geolanders or similar)..thoughts? the current tyres are 215/60/16.. could I go to 215/65/16 to help improve the look?
any other thoughts on things to improve? Im already thinking privacy glass as its the dog wagon and maybe some wrx front seats as I gather these sit a bit lower than the standard seats.

Mine doesnt suffer with any stuttering actually, when i bought it, it needed an oil change, so i did the plugs and all filters and it seems to be pretty good now.
I do have to change the backbox as it is currently whistling under acceleration (apparently this is the backbox breaking down).
I have also changed the rear shocks as the original SLS units had sagged, tailgate seal as it was split and leaking and put a cheap android double din headunit in as, well, the stereo was crap!
In the household we have an e46 330ci convertible as the fun car, so this is just the daily commuter and dog wagon. Being in the New Forest i just want it to be a bit more interesting!

My long term plan is still to go for a jdm outback, 2.5t varient, but that is going to have to wait till at least next year.
For the moment I'm doing a few little things to the forester, as i carry eother my dog or mountain bike most of the time, the windows are being tinted, found a lovely leather momo gearknob which feels so much nicer than the standard, a replacement Kenwood stereo for much needed bluetooth and dab. Externally the biggest improvement will be some Outback wheels, correct offset and an inch bigger so will be a better fit
