There is so much content here it's crazy!
I'm trying to go back to my 03 WRX Wagon. I'm doing my homework and it seems that 04 struts with 04 springs and 04 top mount should work just fine. That's correct right? There are cheap struts out there (the Excel-G are $50 a piece!!!) but not sure how to find the springs and the rest of the hardware (strut bumber, upper cap...) for cheap. Thanks a lot!

Or you can do a kit like this which has everything in one order: https://www.fastwrx.com/collections/...2007-wrx-wagon Mach V is really helpful, I'd recommend giving them a call. |

Thanks guys! I'm trying to stay away from the Chinese stuff as that's what's on the car right now and it's not comfortable enough for the bad Houston roads...
I'll check out fastwrx stuff |

Or take this opportunity to upgrade to a better set of coilovers to match your now much better car. For top hats, 05 RS top mounts fit a 07 STI and vice versa. - Andrew |

I'm looking for new/used rear knuckles for my 04 sedan WRX. Do knuckles from a similar year Forester fit?
I noticed Dorman makes full replacements for the Forester but not the Impreza. However visually they look the same. https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-109707-698-416.aspx |

Does anyone know if the 2011-2014 springs and struts are the same between the wagon & sedan and/or the spring rates by chance?
When looking to purchase oem replacements rock auto has rears labelled as sedan but not wagon lol |

regular vs sport outback
Quote:
I know the regular outback and the outback sport are different but I was wondering if you could still fit impreza/wrx suspension on a 2004 outback. im not seeing too many people answering this question even after some digging so I finally broke down and Im asking on this thread. |

I usually open multiple tabs on rock auto and cross reference between models. and i learned on my current car looking for stock springs to pass safety that the Impreza strut assembly swaps between both vehicles. And then I remembered my JDM rear hubs for my 4/2 piston swap were from a JDM forester. product DORMAN 698326 , 698327 , 698271 , and 698272 fit forester and Impreza models for 2004 years according to rock auto including both 2.5L N/A and 2.0L turbo models. 06/07 wrx got different rears for the factory 4/2 piston brakes and require the kartboy bracket or hub swap to fit 02-05 wrx or 02-07 n/a impreza |

So from my understanding... I can use GR-2 shocks with 04+ Sti springs and will also have to use 04+ sti rear strut top mount even for the front struts?
