Sarang Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Here's what I'm going to do guys. Was planning on doing this before Christmas but as everyone knows, Christmas gets expensive.  Tonight I will order one of the new Koni WRX full struts from Emnotek and should have it by Tuesday. I can then measure it the same way I measured OEM 2014 STI, 2013 WRX and 2011 Legacy struts that I had a while back, and we can put the question of the mysterious "1/2" " to rest. I suspect it was the 08-10 WRX struts that were 1/2" lower, and the 11-14 WRX struts were nearly identical to ours. Pretty sure the Koni bits would be modeled after the 2011-2014 bits. Still, the only other difference would be the attachment of the speed sensor to the strut body. Ordering now....because I can put them in my Fozz. You're a national treasure G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxwhit Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) So mike just gets back to me and says http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170108/2d0eea753ecc1ea62aefafaede881362.png Is he another victim of not being able to get them, let's see..... Of course I gave him the part # but according to his PM, he can get them but not sure if he's referring to the updated assembly.

wrxwhit Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Correct but he states the Konis are available but wondering if he means inserts or the new updated assemblies Edited January 8, 2017 by wrxwhit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxwhit Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Ok so all eBay possibilities are void. Didn't get a chance to call the Koni Market place today but assume all these sites try to pull from KONI USA and find out there is no stock. Almost all the eBay stores have removed there listings cause of me. I guess I'm doing them all a favor. Ordered from discountbandit.com yesterday and received this email today http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170110/e3b595998f1e99df78371d1b5315a10b.png It looks like they contacted a source who may have stock and I now deal with that source directly. Here's my guess, you ready... We are sorry to inform you that these are no longer in stock... This is my last and final chance then wait for GT to give us good or bad news on the new full strut assembly.  Just received H&R Springs and rear KONI's today. Sadly they may have to get returned. KYB struts, mounts and boots I assume will be arriving tomorrow or wed. Not ordering seats yet until I have confirmation of what direction I'll be going.

Zee199969 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Just food for thought, but if one were to use the newer front assemblies and a spacer(if in fact we would need to pending Joe's measurements), also consider how that would affect the adjustment knob My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxwhit Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 No front insert luck yet. Placed a last ditch order from a company that outsources parts called discountbandit.com and was redirected to rpmoutlet.com who supposedly is satisfying the order. I have no confidence though.

BBPeik Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Those look really nice. Can't wait to see it all installed. You will find fronts. I have faith in the Subie Gods. They will bless you with front Koni's. They just want to make sure you really want them. My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
