Does it matter if they are FWD or AWD? I've got a pair from a '90 L auto FWD. If they will work for you, you can have them for $30 shipped. I'm actually going to be pulling them tomorrow.

If the three bolts on the top of the mount/top hat can fit into a AWD model chassis I'll take em.. I know that the rubber seat that is between the mount and the spring is the same diameter. I haven't found out if it bolts straight in yet. At Subaru and on the parts page the part number is different.
If you or anyone else knows if FWD rear top hats/mounts can fit in an AWD car?

Keep me posted on what you find out. Although, after thinking about it for a bit, I tried fitting some STi tophats back there and they wouldn't work. So it may be a FWD/AWD thing.

I was told that they should bolt in. So lets give it a shot. Did you take your suspension off?
If you have a pay pal account that is a good way for me to send you money and me getting some kind of receipt. If you do bill me at my email. kingsleyimports@gmail.com Thanks Andy K

I haven't had a chance to pull them yet. Let me do that tomorrow and make sure they are in good condition and I will get back with you.

Thanks for the conformation that they are the same and it looks like you have tinkered with FWD and AWD suspenion before, I never have. thanks again

there really isnt much of a difference, however i thing wagon springshave a different spring rate than sedan springs. other than that wagon and sedan are interchangable

Hey, I don't know if you'll want mine, they're pretty rusty. I only got one of the rear assemblies off yesterday to check it out. I got a late start and all the damn bolts were rusted, it was a real PITA!

If the rust isn't going thru the mount I can clean up rust with a tool at my house. I am still interested because it is essential to have with the suspenison set up that I have. Also are they the one or two peice mount?

I haven't split apart the assemblies yet to see the extent. I'll get the other side off and then go pick up some spring compressors so I can get everything apart. If I remember correctly, I believe they were one piece. I will give you a progress report this weekend.

Thanks

I have a local fella that will give me the top hats for free. Sorry I wasted your time If you are doing STi springs you will need those anyway or you can get the STi group N mounts if they are bad. From Z1 performance. Thanks Andy K
