Anyone know which are better? I just picked up a complete set of '02 WRX Struts to fit to my '93 SS. I had originally planned on only using the springs and getting KYB GR2's to use as struts, but Im wondering if the WRX struts maybe comparable if not better?

KYB makes the factory struts for subaru.
I don't think the WRX ones would necessarily be any better than new GR-2s.
Yes I have too many Subarus
No you can't have one

gr2s are a bit better than the wrx struts and won't ruin your camber.

yeah but free > $277 anyday of the week....
However, thanks to uncle sam and my tax return... the new > free at this time. I'll just salvage these WRX struts for the springs, tophats, etc... whatever I need to do the swap.
