Slammed (Pics)

[Bartop]

Had some AST coilovers fitted to the Forester on Friday - well pleased with the results Sticks like sticky stuff to a shovel and the ride is improved over the Sti suspension I had before. Well worth it and looks all the better for the drop I think.

Unfortunately I only got a few minutes before the security guard moved me on

Comments welcome !

I love foresters, they're like japanu RS4's Yours is very tidy

[jonnydm]

Looks great, its still a Q car but repaidly becoming more of a hooligan.

[flattotheboards]

looks good its just i think it looks a little too low but that just my opinion.

[F-Attack]

Totally Awesome!!

[sirhc]

Nice contrast to all the Imprezas (love them though i do).
Looks well tuff.
Is there such a thing as too low?!?!

[Bartop]

I must admit it is lower than I had though although I have decided I like it. If I need to I can up the height a bit as they are adjustable for height and damping..

LOVE IT

Proper grown up hooliganism

Drop looks good and with that spec you'll surpise a LOT of stuff and it should be pretty damned handy on a track should you ever decide to do so!

[touge]

Looks good....but it's not slammed, THIS is slammed:

[Bartop]

Yep - thats slammed alright !


Couple of pics from the weekend around the same park, only got a couple of pics off and had to 'chop out the security guard again before he told me to bugger off !

[baSkey]

i think that looks great. i'd wouldn't haved done the a-team van tints personally because i think it's that, rather than the ride height, that 'de-Qs' it..

...if had had loads of cash i'd love to recreate what you've done but on a pre-facelift shell and with the grey bumpers/mouldings (and a national trust rear screen sticker )

[Dico]

Nice!
Even the building looks good.

[Bartop]

Couple of new toys to go on..

Sti Genome back box - rare as hens teeth and sounds awesome..

I think it might've been you in the M3 roadworks last friday evening....? There was an accident at Camberley and we were all held up from the M25 on.

I'd not seen a Forester looking that low - very smart too in black

I'll wave next time look out for the PH sticker!

[PeteG]

Very cool car, just different enough, without being ridiculous. Where were those pics at? (Not that I'm going guard hunting or owt...)

[Bartop]

Cheers - photo's taken at the new business park near Farnborough airfield - some great backdrops but unfortunately they are a bit touchy and tend to move you on very quickly

A quick update as well - new brakes put on over the weekend..

They are Compbrake 6 pot fronts and 4 pot rears with Hawk pads and 350mm Powervane rotors on the front and 330mm on the back.

First impressions are very good and hopefully will get better as well after having done a few miles and bedded in properly..

I was driving my dads forester the other day actually and it's identical to yours.

I told him to get it lowered now he's put 17's on it as it felt all at sea, but most things do when you get out of an Elise.

[Ranger 6]

Spotted again this morning - heading up the M3 just before the M25 junction.

Looking very smart!
