Product Details
Lift application — these coilovers raise ride height above factory, they do NOT lower the vehicle. The Riaction GT1 Coilovers (Lift) for the 1997-2002 Subaru Forester SF are purpose-built for drivers who want more ground clearance, tire fitment room, or light off-road capability — not a dropped stance. These Subaru Forester lift coilovers give you full-length ride-height adjustment above stock, plus the same 32 levels of damping adjustment and rebuildable monotube damper you get from the rest of the Riaction platform.
Dial in extra lift for adventure trim, trail duty, or simply to clear larger-diameter all-terrain tires, then fine-tune damping for ride quality over broken pavement and dirt. Riaction coilovers for the 1997-2002 Subaru Forester are fully rebuildable and backed by a 2-year warranty, making the GT1 a long-term upgrade for owners who want function and adjustability rather than a drop.
