BC Racing RM Series Coilover System (2009 - 2013 Subaru Forester SH) - F-13-RM
Inverted Coilover Strength for the Forester SH
Transform the handling, control, and responsiveness of your 2009 - 2013 Subaru Forester SH with the BC Racing RM Series Coilover System. Built specifically for MacPherson-style strut suspension, the RM Series uses a high-performance inverted mono-tube damper design, relocating the heaviest portion of the strut toward the chassis. This reduces unsprung weight, sharpens suspension reaction time, and improves overall stability - making it an ideal upgrade for the taller, AWD Forester platform.
The RM Series incorporates a large-diameter inverted piston shaft engineered to withstand the elevated lateral loads found in aggressive cornering, spirited mountain runs, and rough-road driving. With independent height adjustment, 30-way damping control, and fully rebuildable construction, the RM Series offers both strength and long-term flexibility for Forester owners who expect more from their suspension.
