Product Overview

This kit provides a heavy duty solution that replaces the original self-levelling suspension system, eliminating reliance on weaker springs and self-levelling shocks that carry part of the vehicle weight. By supplying matched springs and dampers, it ensures the vehicle returns to its correct ride height and improves load-carrying capability for heavy trailers and frequent heavy loads. The system retains compatibility with the existing OE hardware and does not require modifications to the vehicle.

Technology & Materials

Pedders shocks use heavy duty twin-tube gas construction technology paired with reinforced double welded mountings. The matched spring and damper system is designed specifically to replace the self levelling setup and withstand heavy-duty use while providing consistent performance.

Installation & Compatibility

This kit bolts directly onto the vehicle using existing original equipment hardware; no modifications or extra parts are required. It is suitable for Subaru Forester SF models and fits regardless of wheel size. Professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation to optimise handling and tyre wear.
