2011 STi Suspension, any way to make it fit?

Post by tsbpenguin »

I have an opportunity to pick up a full suspension setup from a 2011 STi w/ 1000 miles for an absolutely stupid price. Looks like one pair of the struts have a different way of mounting to the hub. Would I/could I use the hubs from the STi to make them work? Different top hats? Any other info/input?

The front...maybe. The mounting to the knuckle will need to be modified because STIs used a different front knuckle/spindle. I'd be wary because the cars are very different weights. It's also possible that the tophat changed.

The rear...nope. Too different. Too short. Different mounting.

I wouldn't bother. As mentioned the rear is different and if you have to modify the hell out of the fronts to fit....it just isn't worth it.

Makes sense, thanks for the info! Had to at least look into it, my buddy only wants $350 for all 4 plus sway bars...
