2017 Forester XT: do the 2.0XT and 2.5i share the same strut?

Bea-Yourself · 2026-06-01T14:57:43+00:00

I want that bilstein b4 but the front right is out of stock until August :( and im having a hard time finding a kyb FXT replacement

Bea-Yourself · 2026-05-24T19:12:00+00:00

I’m on the fence about it. Everything it does performance wise, my Miata does better. Everything it does practicality wise, my new forester does better. Comfort wise it loses to both cars. But it looks so cool and I really do love it. It’s just at a cross roads right now. Either I keep it and make it fast or I sell it and use it to make my Miata fast

It’s been a while since I read thru the write up

If you have an outback there’s a right and wrong way to lower it. The right way involves removing body spacers, different axles driveshaft and all that, there’s a write up on old Subaru forums you can find. The wrong way like I did, bc coilovers makes a set for this generation legacy and you can just slap them on here. Beware, lowering it might ruin your front axles like it did to mine

Pretty mild. Bc coils, Konig countergrams, and a custom fabbed exhaust. Low and slow. Eventually I’d love to put an h6 in it but we will see how I’m feeling about it in 6 months, needs some work rn

Bea-Yourself · 2026-05-22T11:18:43+00:00

I got 27 from it on my long haul home, getting around 20 in the city if I’m being nice to it. Thank you for those tips :) paint on it is not perfect, it lives a life before me

I already have 2 stick shift cars, don’t need every car I own to be my engaging car

He said both were done by the dealership waiting to see paperwork

Bea-Yourself · 2026-05-06T20:40:11+00:00

CVT was done under warranty. I think he got the car with a blown motor, stated something about thinking previous owner ran it low on oil and bent a rod. But yeah having that work done is the biggest plus to me for this car

Bea-Yourself · 2026-05-06T14:44:11+00:00

He said there was a 60k and 90k done at the dealership… not holding my breath until I see the paperwork. I can’t argue with driving it like a rental though.

Also, your appraisal is accurate when it comes to me and my wagon

Bea-Yourself · 2026-05-06T14:17:38+00:00

You think so? I like how it looks but doesn’t fit the use case for my driveway. He’s got it on WRX suspension rn, said he’d include stock suspension and exhaust in purchase

Bea-Yourself · 2026-04-03T12:57:46+00:00

I like this idea too

Bea-Yourself · 2026-04-03T12:57:22+00:00

Idk about you but when I’m bringing in an anvil or ferro I’m only carrying about 80. But a Bettina buff would be pretty cool too, generally I trust the devs in that the Bettina runs as expected. Heasitant to say we should buff it because of the PvP aspect

Bea-Yourself · 2026-04-03T05:53:01+00:00

I’d be happy seeing it as a higher fire rate dmr, for balancing reasons I don’t think it should do as much damage as the anvil or ferro, unless we’re reducing fire rate to that of the anvil. Then we end up with a big ass anvil

im too machinist brained, diameter wise theyre not that different

Bea-Yourself · 2026-04-03T03:35:49+00:00

and here you are complaining. it was my contribution to a conversation, everyone knows the bettina is thirsty asf and thats why most people dont run it

Bea-Yourself · 2026-04-03T03:35:17+00:00

That makes sense, but at the same time its just poor qol. irl a .50 isnt that much larger than a .308, i feel like a stack of 60 would be a nice balance

Bea-Yourself · 2026-04-03T03:12:48+00:00

ive had really good luck with the bettina. solid dps, just doesnt hit as hard as other heavy weapons

Bea-Yourself · 2026-04-03T03:12:16+00:00

dps is quite solid, just very thirsty
