Another Forester suspension question???

[Brian]

Where does the Forester gain the added height/ ground clearance over the
Impreza / WRX? If one was willing to give up the extra 1 1/2 inches of
ground clearance, would the use of Impreza struts and/ or springs do the
trick? I really don't want to slam it, just bring it down a bit. Any
thought would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know wher the height is actually taken from but a cow-orker who has just
bought a Forester says that using the WRX struts and springs lowers it a couple
of inches.
I imagine using any Impreza parts will result in the same drop, though maybe not
as sporting as using the WRX spec. pieces.
This is based on USA spec. vehicles
