Coil SumoSprings for 2018 Subaru Forester Limited
Question:
I have a 2018 Subaru Forester Limited 2.5 and a a One Up Bike Rack set up to carry 3 bikes. Rear sags when bikes are on rack and vehicle is loaded for a 2 week trip. Will the Sumo Coil Springs eliminate Sag? Does the front and rear need to be aligned after installation? What is the approximate cost of installing all foor Sumo Coils? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The # CSS-1125 Coil SumoSprings will help eliminate the sag you're experiencing when you're carrying bikes on your Forester. The # CSS-1125 are a fit for the rear coil springs on your vehicle, for the front springs, you'd use # CSS-1145. For carrying a bike rack, you honestly wouldn't need to install the SumoSprings on the front coil springs, as they wouldn't provide any benefit.
As you can see by looking at the linked installation instructions, the install is very simple and should take less than an hour per axle.
