Excellent thread!
Subscribe-d. This is going to be what I'd do to my car if anything.
Of course, it all comes down to "Do I have the balls...*cough*...'technical expertise' to disassemble my (3 month old) daily driver?" Ask me again in four years (or less if I'm lucky) when I've paid it off. And the answer will be "Hell Yes!"

I still can't tell completely, maybe it's the wording. does that mean that Springs for 04-07 RS or WRX are INTERCHANGEABLE?
Sorry for my confusion, but I just don't want to buy the wrong thing Here's what I'm trying to buy: Item number: 120118184575 on eBay. Link isn't working for some reason. The year says 02-05 WRX springs... which isn't consistent with the information in this thread.. Will they fit? Kevin |

Please don't get those. They look like $hit. And you're a "Scooby Specialist"? Shouldn't you know better by now? How about you get some reputable springs. STI takeoffs at the very least.

When in doubt, ebay listings from places you've never heard of are wrong.
There is no such thing as a spring that fits 02-05 WRX without any modifications (i.e. using different struts or strut tops.) 02-03 springs are different then 04+ springs. - andrew Last edited by RaceComp Engineering; 01-17-2008 at 06:30 PM. |

^^That's what I was asking. I thought it sounded odd.
Thanks for the help. Kevin |

I'm putting RCE Wagon springs on my '02 wagon, along with a set of Koni's.
I can re-use my exising struts, as long as I get GroupN bushings for the rear, and either GroupN or Camber plates for the front, correct? No other parts that I need to buy? |

For the front, you don't need anything but you could upgrade to the stiffer Group N tophats, or camber plates if you want the camber and/or caster adjustability. |

does anyone here know if the Group N top hats will allow you to use the stock spring still for a 2002 WRX. Also does anyone know if the Cusco Pillow ball top hat will work with the stock spring.
Thanks in advance |

^ Eventually....when we start figuring out what's compatible between the leggy's and the new Impreza it will be helpful.

There is no info regarding interchangability of rear lateral links and trailing arms for the GC model (93-2001). Left out because nothing can be swapped or no one has tested that theory yet?
