1/4" Front Trail Springs & KYB Excel-G Struts - Fits 2013-2017 Subaru Crosstrek XV

Great replacement for 2014 Crosstrek OEM springs

After 9 years my Crosstrek was due for new struts. The back was getting saggy and soft and the front had lost its sporty feel. I got the RalliTEK sport springs with KYB pre-assembled struts front and rear. This made install cheaper (my shop gave me a discount since they were pre-assembled). The car rides 1+” higher in the rear with the front about the same (maybe +0.25 or +0.5, but difficult to measure with accuracy). The front springs are well matched to the struts and car weight, and steering response feels better - sportier and more connected but not twitchy in steering and not rough in road feel. The car was aligned after install as the slight pull to the right before install got a little worse after install. We use this car mostly for errands around town and long road trips, with occasional short adventures off-road. The pre-assembled springs and struts were shipped in boxes with good packaging and protection using shredded cardboard - a nice upgrade to the softer peanuts that RalliTEK products used to be packaged with.
