Product Details
RS-R Best-i Jouge coilovers for the 2014-2018 Subaru Forester (SJ5/SJG) solve the problem most crossover coilovers can’t: going up OR down. “Jouge” is Japanese for “up and down,” and that is exactly what this platform does — raise the Forester above stock ride height for trail and snow-country ground clearance, or drop it for a lower street stance, all from the same kit. Same 36-level damping, same rebuildable monotube construction as the rest of the iSHOCK family, with a perch range that goes both directions.
“Jouge” is Japanese for “up and down”, and that is exactly what this coilover does. Best-i Jouge is RS-R’s crossover and SUV coilover, engineered to raise the ride height above stock for off-pavement ground clearance, or drop it for a lower street stance — the same 36-level damping platform, just with a perch range that goes both directions. Popular on RAV4, Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, and UX chassis.
