Modifying SH5 Forester

[Shibe]

Does anyone here have experience modifying an SH5 Forester? Particularly a 2.0XT?

 

Mine is bone stock and I don't even know where to begin.. exhaust, suspension, intake, tuning. I'm not overly sure how accustomed they are to modifications.

Only Forester I ever has was an STI Forester which was very happy to be tuned however before doing anything I would highly recommend some decent quality rubber, not only safer but much more fun on the corners when you aren't under steering everywhere!

 

After that I would look at a turbo back exhaust fuel pump and a tune

 

Thats just my 2 cents..

We had a non turbo SH and i owned a turbo SF5 that i did alot of work on to use on the track. 

 

The SH5 is a boat, even more so at high speeds and old tired suspension. Get some decent tires lowering springs can help a bit but best would be coilicers or even is shocks tired and worn new shocks. Def do the rear sway bar. ITS SO TINY! front not too bad. The non turbo SH im not sure about the turbo ones have pretty weak rear difs too

it’s absolutely a boat and I think that’s the first thing I need to address. Stupidly missed out on a full set of Pedders shocks and springs because the numpty selling them wouldn’t reply to my questions about shipping them.. should’ve just whacked but now!
