XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Subaru FORESTER SK 4WD 2018-2024

The Subaru Forester SK’s raised crossover body and permanently engaged symmetrical AWD system give it more roll and less immediacy through a bend than a typical hot hatch, and that’s the gap XYZ Racing’s Street Advanced coilover is built to close on this chassis. Factory Subaru dampers are tuned for ride comfort and load-carrying, not for holding a level attitude through a fast B-road or resisting nose dive under trail braking into a roundabout.

Street Advanced brings the Forester SK 4WD’s suspension in line with how most AWD-platform owners actually use the car – fast road driving with the occasional track day – without turning the ride brittle for the motorway commute. It’s the coilover XYZ built for Forester owners who want more from the chassis than the factory set-up can give, without losing the everyday usability a boxer-engined AWD crossover is bought for.

What this coilover does for your 2018-2024 Subaru Forester SK 4WD

Fitting Street Advanced to a 2018-2024 Forester SK 4WD lowers the centre of gravity and tightens body control that the factory ride height and soft spring rates were never set up to deliver. With 720 damping adjustment positions, you can wind compression and rebound towards the firmer end for a track day and back off for the drive home – something the Forester’s stock, non-adjustable struts can’t offer. The SK’s boxer engine already sits low in the chassis; pairing that with a set-up that controls roll around it means less lean and more front-end bite when the AWD system is putting power down out of a corner. Ride height is independently adjustable too, so you can trim the extra body roll that comes with the Forester’s tall crossover stance without giving up the ground clearance it’s often bought for. Less nose dive under hard braking also means more confidence trail-braking into tighter corners.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced sits at the centre of XYZ Racing’s coilover range, the product of ongoing development by XYZ’s in-house engineering team and testing across international racing programmes rather than a design fixed once and left alone. It carries 720 individual damping settings, giving a genuinely wide spread between a compliant road setting and a stiffer track-day one on the same pair of dampers – well beyond what most adjustable coilovers in this bracket offer. Construction is monotube, chosen for consistent damping force as heat builds rather than the fade twin-tube designs show after a few hard laps. It’s a dual-purpose kit: capable enough for a track day, streetable enough to be the only suspension on the car. For a Forester SK 4WD owner who wants real control over ride height and damping character instead of a fixed factory compromise, this is the product built to deliver it.

Fitment for the Subaru FORESTER SK 4WD (2018-2024)

This kit is specced against the SU22 chassis code, covering the Forester SK 4WD built between 2018 and 2024. It’s designed for the permanent all-wheel-drive platform as sold in the UK, not the earlier SJ-generation car. Confirm your chassis code and build year against your V5C before ordering, since Subaru’s model-year cut-offs don’t always line up with calendar years.
