Thank you so much I've needed this question answered was never sure to buy them or not. Also the top hats off your stock struts or the 04 ones?

I used the top hats on the oem legacy ones. Just in case. Not sure if the WRX ones fit or not.

Just wondering does the coilovers/suspension from 05 legacy will fit a 2007 impreza wagon?
Or does it need some modifications?

I have a 2012 WRX that I put air suspension on and my girlfriend has a 2008 Legacy GT my stock suspension on my 2012 wrx has eibach lowering springs.
My real question is will the eibach lowering springs fit on the 2008 Legacy GT any help would be great my girlfriend's not the wealthiest person in the world so if I could somehow get the Springs to fit that would be the best thanks guys and gals

Please don't flame me for asking this but I've searched many site and can't get an answer. I need to replace the struts on my 99 USDM SF5 Forester model S but all the WRX/STI struts/springs will lower the car because the SF5 struts/springs are 2" longer than the WRX/STI components. I don't want to lower the car because it is a small SUV and I want the ground clearance and do not want to deal w/bottoming out/fender rubbing when loaded. While reading parts of this thread, Outback struts/springs are longer/beefier so is there a year Outback that may be used in the 99 Forester since the SF5 is a "lifted Impreza".
