Subaru Forester suspension

My Forester is a trusty 06, a 2.0XE and appears a bit low at the back, especially compared to my previous one (2.5) and others Ive seen. Every time its loaded it looks a lot lower.

Garage says its fine, but I suspect its been lowered.

Anyone recommend a heavy duty / raised set?

Anyone tried Pedders kits ? Recommeded by local Subaru dealer (though they also do mclarens and lotus so not necessarily aimed at the thrifty stalker). At these prices I might as well get a second truck.

Id like to be able to put 3-4 fallow in the back without collapsing it…..if so fortunate on the day.

I have very little interest in spannering …

Get some new factory spec springs fitted?

If you raise it then you may well need new shocks and extended brake hoses too at an additional cost and it'll likely adversely affect the handling.
