Canyonero Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 OK so im going to pick up a set of 02 wrx wagon struts and springs. Oem of course. but waswondering will it give it a lower stance? or will it remain the same? i am planning on buying springs at a later time to lower it even more. but as of right now just curious.

skibob6 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Your car will be maybe an inch lower, WRX's are a little lighter. You should notice better handling too the wrx sptings are a little more progressive than our strait springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddywagon Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 the fronts will work just fine but you need to use the legacy rear tophats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canyonero Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 finished work but the wrx wagon top hats seems to fit perfectly fine and bolts right up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmEh Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 thats what i ordered, because i don't have everything here yet and 1/8" too high or low is no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98quiksilvergt Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Why did you use parts from a wagon? Is that just what was available? Would wrx sedan parts work? Just wondering. I have front and rear kyb gr-2 struts, mounts, and springs from an 03 wrx sedan in my garage. Someone gave them to me and said they would work. I never Tried to use them cause I don't know for sure if they will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmEh Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 they will fit, you may need a spacer to bring the rear up a touch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I am curious as to how the spacers go on? do I need to take the strut out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canyonero Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 I used wagon suspension because thats what my friend had laying around and gave to me for free. Also i own a wagon and thought it would eliminate the "booty sag". I believe that sedan suspension will work too. somewhere in this forum they have a listing of what fits. I think all 02-05 suspension bolts up. also as long as its a 5x100 bolt pattern or something along that line. I believe the spacer goes between the top hat and the car. I will be ordering them this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98quiksilvergt Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hmm, I just did the left front. Seems like it raised it up a 1/2 inch? Doing the other side in the morning. Why did it lift mine and lower yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canyonero Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 dunno.... it drops alot more in the back than front. Maybe it'll even out when you put em all on. then once it settles*booty sag* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98quiksilvergt Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I got both fronts on know. It doesn't look lower at all. It's alot stiffer though.I like that. I'm gonna order some spacers before I do the rear. I'm scared of the booty sag. I got 2 10's in the trunk. I'm happy with the better handling so far.
