Replying to: paisan (Aug 26, 2008 6:18 pm) Mike, I wonder if there are enough potential sales to support a 3 inch lowering kit for the Forester?  Dave

Replying to: merrycynic (Aug 24, 2008 10:05 am) So get a Forester, and lower it.  All the Impreza stuff bolts right on. My 1998 Forester had upgraded sway bars, strut tower brace, SPT short shift kit, you name it. Bolted right on. One bonus - you have TONS more room for wheel/tire choices.

Replying to: dino001 (Aug 27, 2008 12:58 pm) I just went to the Audi Ultimate Drive event at Summit Point Raceway, and it was an absolute hoot. We drove fairly well loaded A4s with the Luxury package and the adjustable Dynamic/Comfort suspension. V6 Quattro models, of course. The scary part? Estimated list price was $48,000! Without the Sport package! None of the cars there had them, to be comparable with the Lexus IS250 AWD, M-B 300 4Matic, and BMW 328xi they had along for comparison. The Lexus was the cheapest of the bunch at just under $40k, but all the rest were $40k plus, and Audi was the most expensive, probably because they compared their upgraded engine with the base engine of the competition. I'm sure a 2.0T would be cheaper, but by how much? Still low $40s probably. It's insane. Even BMW, they bring out the 1 series, but all they really did was increase 3 series prices, and then price the 1 series where the 3 series used to be ($30-40 grand). You can get a 128i or a FWD A3 in the high $20s, but a well equipped 135 or A3 Quattro will run well up in to the 30s. For $48 grand you could buy two basic WRXs, or a loaded Forester XT Limited plus an Outback Sport for your kid. |

Dave As juice said, you can put on a lowering kit for the forester and outback. JDM STi Pinks! That's what I'm doing on my LGT with my Konis.  Heck coilovers run in the Sub $1k range these days and are somewhat streetable. -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host |
