Thanks all for the reply! all great information, I believe this is setup with wrx struts, and I know there are cobb springs under it. and yes the tires are smaller, they are from a wrx as well, so what I think ill do is get some 1/2" spacers and then increase the tire size to give me another 1/2" and I think ill be there!

Hello All, I have a 2004 Forester XT I purchased back in September. As you can see from the picture it has been lowered with Cobb springs I suspect are intended for a WRX. While I LOVE the way it looks and rides, it is just over an inch off the ground under the engine. Which is all fine and dandy until you take it out to Wyoming and 28" of snow falls and you get stuck and crack your radiator... My question to all you experts out there is, is there a way to raise her back up without a spring swap?? That way I get the custom look and ride that is a little more daily driver. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated. My Thanks in advance! http://tinypic.com/r/11kb12e/5

Turns out the piece of junk universal O2 sensor I got was faulty... got a great deal from http://www.rockauto.com on an OE Denso O2 sensor for $80! Light turned off and my gas mileage has gone up by about 4 mpg!!!!

yeah I wondered about that... I was just hopeful! and figured the $36 to attempt the universal was worth it before breaking down to buy oem...

Looking over everything again and reading some more forums I found that the screws on the MAF were very loose so that might have something to do with it as well.

I did reset before replacing, and I got advice from the vendor that supplied the sensor on what to connect to what. Also, just to make sure I have reset the code three times and it keeps coming back on.

Just bought a 2004 Forester XT, and a month later it threw a check engine light! Blah... Had my brother run a scan and it came back as "p1153" this reads as bank 1 sensor 1 So I replaced the sensor with an universal and of course the check engine light is still on!! even after removing the battery cable it came back on within 1 minute. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
