GTEASER Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 IIRC, they are not direct bolt in to 5th Gen USDM cars. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdXammo Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 There's a mounting difference? The knuckles are the exact same. The tophats don't fit a gen 4 and they seem to be about 5/8 an inch longer than a gen 4 strut. Looking at the tophat it appears a change in top hat would get one to a gen 4 length. There's just one letter different in the code vs a rev b JDM GT strut. I think maybe that denotes the tophat. I dunno... I just got all excited seeing how fresh they were... I'm going to the dealer today and compare to a stock 5th get strut. The pinks are the exact same spring as 4th gen btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaboo Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I think they will fit fine. My car came with Bilsteins and I replaced them with WRX KW's. It's been written up here that WRX stuff bolts on to the USDM models, so my guess is that US and JDM models are the same in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMBR9 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I think you can use kit kca335 tophats and use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
