What's the difference? WRX 02/03 vs. 04/05??

Post by livestrong14 »

What is the difference in 02/03 WRX struts and springs vs. 04/05 WRX struts and springs???

What did they change between the years? Which ones are a direct bolt on for a 91 ss?

Will my car sit higher with this setup? What kind of springs should I use to lower it a bit?

I am looking for a 1" drop in the front and a 1.5"-2" drop in the back. What would be the best setup and why?

I know there are a lot of questions, but I would like to gain some knowledge today.

Thanks

No offense man, but you do need to search. This has been covered ad nauseam in the WRX springs thread stickied at the top of this forum.

And I confirmed which ones are a direct fit for your 91.

2009 Impreza 2.5i Premium. Blue.

Not only was I asking specifics on what fits, I was also asking what you would suggest would be best for my setup. I have searched and found about 2% of the answers to my questions.

Opinions are just as important as raw facts!
