Hmm thanks a lot. But in terms of the macpherson design body that mounts to the knuckle, is it much different?
And you said .5 in shorter, do you know the length of the GR or GD strut?

Perhaps you want a front sway bar, not a rear:
http://www.iwsti.com/forums/gd-suspe...ngs-clint.html ^ I am going to run an RCE front sway. Whiteline also comes highly recommended. both are adjustable. You'll want endlinks too, I recommend the simple design of the Kartboy. |

Has anyone found an exception to the fender brace rule for 06-07 2.5i/RS? I've skimed and seen some NA guys stating they have aftermarket braces installed. If I can confirm or deny they'll work with my 2.5i without pulling a fender, that would be awesome.

ok guys... i need to know if the 2008+ wrx hatch sway bars will fit the 2011 2.5i premium. i have talked to several different shops and they give me one of those "oh let me check ill get back to you" its been 2 months and im sick of waiting.
perrin makes a kit but they are too expensive and i hate perrin. and another company makes a set (cant think of the name at the moment) but the diameter is too small (22mm) front and rear please help me out with suggestions. i cant let my little bro drive a car with no rear sway bar for much longer haha. |

I think that's what Myles said. Re-read the third sentence of the first paragraph.

You should not have to pull the fender to find out. Grab a flashlight and maybe a rag, go open a front door and look inside the fender between and just in front of the hinges. On my NA 02 the threaded holes are there but covered with some thick body colored stickers.

If I missed the post in here sorry. I have a 08 NA impreza hatch and am looking at helping the soft ride by updating the struts and springs. Will the struts and springs from a 2011 WRX work?

Maybe I'm missing what it is you're concerned about? Will they fit, yes. Will you have to pull a fender, maybe not with a sedan, you'll at least have to loosen the top fender screws if you have a wagon. I'm doing mine this weekend on an 07 2.5i wagon.

This is based on I read with respect to the GTWorx/Bilstein struts that were designed around the 08-10 strut design. Those yield extra negative camber when used on a 2011 which is generally a good thing for handling to reduce understeer. |

this may have already been answered on a different thread, but will KYB AGX Adjustable Gas Shocks for an '02-'03 WRX fit on an '01 RS? my brother had originally got them but never got around to putting them on his car, so he gave them to me.

I fount that a front sway bar I ordered for a 2002 legacy GT fit my new 2011 2.5i with no problem. Subaru must have reused some older molds rather than reworking everything.

Thanks a lot for this thread, it's incredibly useful!
I'm currently investigating running '04 STI struts with GC springs and top hats on my 2000 GC RS. I keep hearing that it'll bolt up, but here I see I'd run into geometry issues. What sort of issues would I be running into, and what sort of workarounds are there? |
