    Nice work. Supposed to use non-sls springs when switching to non-sls struts though

      Can you use lowered springs too?

      Yeah. I was on a budget and time constraint to get a roadworthy

    My SH didnt come with SLS. I load it up with camping gear and bikes on the hitch bike carrier and it sags a bit. Do I want to get myself some SLS?

    • @HarrodsGarage

      I wouldn’t put them in if it didn’t come with it. How much sag you talking?

      @@HarrodsGarage With three bikes and camping gear, its noticeable. You got any experience with king springs? I dont want it lifted. Just able to load up the back without too much sag.

      It seems only the SH Turbo came with self leveling. King spring don’t offer any other spring other than standard height for NON SLS on the SH.

    Any update on the suspension? My forester is due all round but because I heard you need sls too I might just spend abit more then just get coilovers

    • @HarrodsGarage
      @HarrodsGarage  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah just save and get coilovers. Mine is just a run around. And it looks like it fine and rides good. I’ve got a built sf5 GT to play around with so it doesn’t really bother me

    Have the same concern, I’m about to change the old sls with new struts. Thinking of the KYB you get in this video. Did the car got lower in height ? Plz help

    • @HarrodsGarage
      @HarrodsGarage  Рік тому

      Yes about an inch. I put lowering springs in the front to level it out

      I just put new Kyb's on the rear, and it looks low. Should I use a lift kit in order to fix that drop ?

    So is the self levelling part of the assembly separate and able to be reused as long as the strut gets replaced?

    • @HarrodsGarage
      @HarrodsGarage  Рік тому

      it’s part of the strut so I’m guessing no.

      @@HarrodsGarage I may have missed something because I thought you were still using SLS and didn't think kyb sold them, or do they?? I've blown a rear shock and weighing up my options now 🙃

      Nope I’ve just got standard shocks now
