I have had Yakima Low Riders on my 1998 Subaru Forester factory rack and
have been very happy with them.

If you buy them, get the SKS lock system, and buy more than 4 lock cores,
because eventually you will find yourself needing them for various
accessories you put on the crossbars. It's nice to have the same keys
working on all the cores. If you want, I can email you a photo of how I set
up the system on my Forester. (I believe the factory rack system has not
changed on the Forester since 1998.)

People get into fights over the virtues of round bars (Yakima) vs. square
bars (Thule). I prefer round bars.

Any opinions about what sort of rack system to use with the Subaru
Forester?
I have given up on my Talon Rack (side-loading).
