kaz98gt Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 http://www.camotoy.com/products/saggybutt/index.php I need to know EXACTLY which ones will fit without any mods to the spacers; I have neither the time or tools to grind them out, and personally don't want to spend $30 to have to trim away some of them. I'm guessing it's the 02-03 impreza for my 98 gt tophats? I'm looking to do the 3/8", and I'm sick of bottoming out and looking at the stupid saggy butt on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleyswanson Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 ^^The 04-07s? Are you sure? Everyone i have talked to said 02/03. I have the 02/03 wrx tophats on my car and they fit fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmEh Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 those are the ones that look exactly like the ones i just put in my car saturday. I was using 04 sti struts and top hats. same shape as the legacy ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98quiksilvergt Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I used 02-03. Perfect fit!! 30.00 shipped from paranoid fabrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 ^^ I'm going that route; I figured it was that, but just wanted to make absolute sure that it was right. Are there advantages to getting wrx tophats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmEh Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 the 02-03 probably fit, ie: the studs line up with the holes so it'll go in. but the 04-07 are actually the same shape as the top hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 so the center of the tophat will fit through the hole that's cut in the 04-07 for our gt tophats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98quiksilvergt Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I used 02 struts and mounts with the 02-03 3/8 spacers. If your using 04 strut mounts you may want to use the 04 spacers. The bolt pattern is the same. (from what I've heard) you could go to a parts store and match the two up. Advance auto by me had the 02-03 in stock. Not sure about 04+. The mounts themselves may be different. I've never seen an 04 mount so I can't say for sure. The 02-03 mount looked exactly like the stock legacy mount. http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd104/thrty5thsc/cc132e6c.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleyswanson Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 i was debating for like two days whether to get the 3/8 or the 1/2. finally i got out a ruler and realized how small 1/8 of an inch is. haha. ended up getting the 1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98quiksilvergt Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 You'll need longer studs with the 1/2 inch. 3/8 is the most you can go with stock studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmEh Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 except you wouldn't listen when i said what ones to buy. considering i did it a week ago today.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 but you have the 04 sti gear...I know it's the same kind of stuff, but I wanted to make absolute sure. Nothing personal, sorry if you took it that way. But i researched it further and more and more people went with the 02-03 without any issues, so I dove in.

JimmEh Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 The stock top hats are the same shape as the 04 sti ones i used. so i think yours would be too. no biggie they have the same hole pattern as far as i understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 this is true...according to the awesome stickied suspension faq I'll take pictures and let you know how things turn out; I'm sick of looking at the sag on my legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp27 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 can someone please post up drawings of the top hat patterns. i wanna build spacers before i take the car apart so it is only down for a day. i am getting a 1 inch think piece or plastic to make spacers. as i cant seem to find coilovers that provide lift.
