Does it include tophats? Cause the rear WRX tophats don't fit our cars. You'd need GC Impreza-application tophats unless you want to drill out your rears.

The strut fits in the stock top just fine. The issues will be a lack of negative camber and a possible ride height change.

We installed 03 WRX strut assemblies with GC tophats on a 91 L sedan and it did lift the car about 3/4" That being said you could get lowering springs for a WRX to cancel it out. As for the camber issue you would have to get something like an Ingalls Camber Kit, camber plates, slot the mounting holes at the base of the strut or get adjustable lateral links.

so just to be clear, i need to get gc top hats for all four corners and an ingalls camber kit for all four corners, and this suspension set up will work? thanks for the help!

Jamal said you can reuse your old tophats. That being said, Group-N GC tophats would be a sweet upgrade. Have them on my SS, and they are a huge upgrade over worn out old ones.

I've used several wrx suspension setups and only used camber bolts to correctly align the car
