Added these to my B6 Bilstein struts and the car runs smooth and comfortable no sag even when loaded matched them with my 1/2” Rallitek aluminum spacers for a complete 1” lift looks great

Absolutely love the springs, no more body roll, lots of confidence over bumps. Only thing is advertised as 0” lift but I have seen a slight lift and push forward of the rear wheels when unloaded. I barely fit my chunky tires in. I am actually pleased with the slight lift as I was debating doing some anyway and think the forester looks and feels spectacular with it so all things considered I am very happy with my purchase and rate it with my off road wheels as the best thing I have done with the forester. I wish I had know it would lift when i ordered it but again this is the car unloaded and I am very pleased overall.

Through the long process of finding a first car for my son we settled on a 2009 Subaru Forester. I gave him the option of finding a "fixer-upper" that would allow us to do some neat things with, and that's what he chose. He wanted to go the lifted route with larger tires and a general off-road feel, so we started hunting for parts and landed on the combination of the Rallitek springs with Bilstien 1.5" lift struts.

Having modified cars for decades, I've always been a bit leery about swapping springs, as often you end up with a jarring ride, but after installation, I was quite surprised. If anything, the old springs were a bit soft, especially the rears, and the new springs, while firming things up, don't feel too bad. In fact, they feel great, and the car handles fantastically! Of course, they look great too, but what's important is they function well, and that they do.

My son is thrilled with how his car came out, and I'm equally delighted that these work well without compromising ride or comfort.

I have a 2009 Forester XT. The stock suspension was was way too soft and saggy. I started building it into a Overland vehicle. I have owned many other vehicles like Jeeps and trucks but I wanted something smaller that got better fuel economy and I really like the power the turbo engine has pulling the hills and mountain passes. The Subaru Forester XT seemed like a solid choice. I added a rooftop tent and a hitch spare tire carrier and it became clearly apparent that the factory suspension was not up to it. I found Rallitek and went with these springs and Bilstein B6 problem solved the vehicle is extremely capable now. I added a rear locker and could not be more happy. It cruises down the freeway effortlessly getting 26 mpg and gets me to the most remote camping spots. Great option for those running a lot of weight and gear all the time.

I purchased these overload springs for our 2015 Outback because when we haul our bikes and gear the rear sags about 3”.
The springs came in a reasonable time frame, about a week. I installed them myself, I have installed several lift kits before so know what I am doing. However I do wish there were some instructions specifically with the spring placement to the top and bottom of the strut. I had to search for some videos on you tube. Which didn’t show what I was looking for. Nevertheless I did get it back together. The ride height ended up being 1 3/4 higher than stock height, It has settled a bit to about 1 1/2 Which now makes the front to low. I ended up buying front springs to level off the car. Overall the ride is decent, not to firm, not to soft. Just different. I tested with 2 heavy e-bikes on my Kuat Nv2 rack and the car only sat down 1/2” and didn’t wallow in the turns as it did before with the stock shocks. Overall I am happy with the purchase.

I feel the stock springs were not stiff enough.Installing the 1/2" spring kit completely solved the problem.My 2009 Forester handle much better.
Great product

Night and day difference.
The ride height-perfect, ride quality-exceptional, and do not hesitate on this upgrade. Nothing but praise for this product.

1/4" Lift Spring Kit - Fits 13-17 Subaru Crosstrek

Made my outback feels more stable on the road and the trails.

My customer uses his car to move around record albums and as the car aged it would drastically sag in the rear when he would load up. With the new springs the car maintains a normal level and has minimal effect on the ride when it’s not loaded.

Springs were paired with Bilstein B6 struts. Springs are definitely stiffer than stock. Turns feel more responsive and "sportier". Rear stays more stable when hauling heavy loads. When I brought it in for realignment, it was almost the same. Fronts were 0.1 deg off camber toe targets, all else was green. 1/4" lift is perfect for city driving and winter roads.

Stock suspension with 130k miles was bouncing too much,
losing contact with pavement at high speeds,
felt unsafe.

For better control, I bought these and paired them with Bilstein B6's.
Definite improvement in control,
more contact with pavement,
less bounce and faster rebound.

However, the ride is definitely firmer,
a bit like sporty BMW trims,
feels just right for spirited driving.

The old suspension had a saggy rear,
especially prone to squatting when loaded.
These springs hold the load without the squat.
That's a comfort in mind when travelling with a loaded rear.

Aesthetically, the car sits just a bit higher with noticeably less sag in the back.
These subtly make the car look better because the car sits flat front to back instead of being at a slant.
Looks good from the back and from the side.

The only problem with these is the installation especially the front sets.
Because the springs are thicker,
the spring compressors are tricky to get out when compressed.
It may require a few tries to get the right position,
which can be a real hassle as it can be super dangerous and strenuous to wind the compressors in and out.
It may be worth it to buy the set with the shocks installed to save on the hassle.

Overall, a good set and satisfied (so far, about 500 miles on them)
Much better control than stock.
Bit firmer but feels sporty.
No more saggy baggy rear.
But tricky and strenuous install into the shocks.

That’s for the nice springs. Should of bought these before I hit the Great Western Trail a few years back!

I have to say I'm impressed. I got a decent lift out of just these springs alone, gone is the rear sag I've been experiencing even unloaded. You feel slightly higher off the ground which is great. It's a little stiffer but it's not going to rattle your spine apart. I have bilstein B4 shocks in the front and B6s in the rear so I definitely notice it being more stiff in the rear. Just make sure to align the car with a full tank of gas to ensure there's some weight on the springs when setting the toe and camber. Overall, super happy 👍

I purchased these overload springs for my '09 forester about 3 years ago. I was initially very excited about the product performance, but overtime became disenchanted. These springs are so stiff that unless I was fully loaded down for a trip, driving on a dirt road made me feel like my car was rattling apart. The spring rates I had were ~320lbs in the front, and ~350 in the rear. While these springs fixed my saggy butt problem when I was loaded up, the front springs lifted the car more than the rear regardless of the load, which I didn't like aesthetically. Furthermore, the front springs both broke sometime during the three years I used them, and when I finally pulled the trigger on new suspension, I found this out while doing the replacement. Rallitek honored their warranty, and offered to replace them, but I was uninterested in running their springs again. I was also told they fixed the powder coating problem that lead to them rusting and breaking. I'm currently running b6 struts with king springs. Front rate is ~180 and rear is ~300. Much more comfortable, empty or fully loaded.

I would only recommend these to someone who is running a rooftop tent, extras on their vehicle all the time, and probably a sizable bumper. And you'll need to purchase strut spacers if you don't want the back end of your car to be lower than the front all the time.

3/8" Rear Overload Springs - Fits 00-04 Subaru Outback

The 3/4 inch lift springs stop the sag I had with the stock springs. Ride is a little stiffer, but that was a trade off worth making so I could tow my camping trailer.

So far so good! Noticeably stiffer but respond very well to movements, bumps and bounces. It’s spacer-lifted 2” already so these make the rear end look awesome and don’t sag when loaded up.

For cars that are made for "adventure" and hauling the associated gear, they sure don't have suspension that is set up for it. Combine these with Bilstein B6 springs for the ultimate loaded handling improvement, sag reduction/elimination, and a small lift. They even work well enough on OEM/KYB shocks but feel a little underdamped when empty. Only thing I wish is that Rallitek had an option for lowering springs as well.

I do like them, however they are also the most expensive option out there - which is my only complaint.

Springs perform well but don’t exactly hold a lot of weight for being overload springs
