Lowering Your Crosstrek

For the first generation Crosstrek, any coilovers designed for the 2008–2014 Impreza WRX (non-STi) (third generation Impreza) have been proven to be a direct fit without any modifications required. If you are on a tight budget, you can use the OEM 2008–2014 WRX suspension, which can be easily found second-hand.

Some owners have said that FR-S/BRZ/GT86 coilovers will fit the second generation Crosstrek, but this usually isn't recommended due to concerns about them being set up for a completely different body style. 

It has also been said that the suspension design was revised for the 2020-2023 model years, so some coilovers designed for this generation may not fit those years. Always check with the manufacturer to confirm fitment before purchasing.
