Default A Forester with Prodrive PFF7's !

A couple of pics - managed to get these fitted over the weekend with Toyo Proxes T1R's 225/45/18.

Not the ideal offset for the Forester (ET51 instead of ET48) but they went on ok without the need for a spacer but they are close to the rear strut - may put a 3mm one on later to be on the safe side.

Made a huge difference to the ride and handling - loads more grip, much more sure footed and not so much roll..

I toyed between these and some Speedline Turinis but decided to go with these for now - What do you guys think ?

If those brakes were a dealer installed option, I am going to be really jealous!

Very nice!!! What color are the wheels? I have a black car as well, and I'm looking to get the same wheel but couldn't decide on the color.

Thanks for the positive comments guys..

Brakes are not a dealer installed option as such but an approved Prodrive upgrade - ridiculously expensive mind but look really good and stop well too

The colour is called Bright Flitter - sort of an anthracite/silver colour.

Have managed to get some 04 Impreza Sti struts and springs which I'm deciding wether to fit on. Should transform the handling as well as dropping it 3-4inches

Do a combo drop, it's pretty much the only way to get an even drop (WRX Wagon Rears + STi Fronts)

Prodrives work or Ground Control Coil sleeves work well because of the spring rates and adjustibility.

Your Forester looks awesome! I was going to buy another 04-05 Forester XT, but after seeing yours, I'll opt for the 06+ style!

looks niceee.
what size are the wheels? IMO, would look better with 245/255s using a spacer, 225s look too narrow...
are those brakes 6 piston?? looks good cept weird how the rotors aren't two piece...hm

^ oo cool. they look really nice. how wide are the wheels though? Maybe you can fit some wider tires with spacers or after you get a drop.
