Subaru Forester Clearance Upgrades

I own a Forester (2002) and the Courier.

I wouldn't bother. They aren't really the vehicle to take when their factory clearance is an issue with the track you are on.

I did see one in the Victorian High Country last year. Corryong to Tom Groggin and down to Benambra. Gutsy effort but I'll bet he paid for it in damage and clutch.

He thought he had a power problem the first night I camped with them, but when I ran into him the next day 30-40km further on he'd come to the realisation that he'd exceeded the capability of his vehicle. He survived by getting dragged up some stuff by his mates.

They are a great car, good in the sand, snow and even a slippery clay track near the murray or the goulburn but that's about it. I'd not bother going really bush in one.

Thanks mate, yeh I'm still a bit dubious about getting a lift kit, trying to be mindful of the effects to the rest of the car but I'm told there won't bit with a standard lift kit as opposed to s suspension lift.

I don't think I'd be hitting anything to heavy as you said mainly beaches and just a few already graded tracks.

I did find the other day when I was driving along long point that I was dragging the nose in a few spots and my mud guards and bash guard.

I guess if I do get the lift it should always be reversible without too much hassle.Its pretty hard to find anyone over here who does them and find people who have had them done. Although i'm about to contact the Subi club.

Cheers
