TEIN S.TECH LOWERING SPRINGS SUBARU IMPREZA WRX 02 03

Post by turbo970 »

i read the sticky but still confused. one part of the sticky says 02-03 wrx springs are direct replacements but under it it says i need to change stuff. i have 92 tw and want to do a mild drop. so which part is correct?

Which one are you talking about? The way I read it (speaking about the 1st link in the sticky), 02-03 WRX fits 92-94, while 04-07 fits 90-91.

there was a part in the sticky that said i had to change the top mounts on my struts to a newer style to fit the 02- 03 springs.

I reused the 1st gen factory top hats when I put 02-03 WRX springs on my 92 SS. Wasn't happy with the rear ride height at all... the springs were Prodrive made by Eibach. But everything fit at least :smt022

I think the 1st link in the sticky was referring to if you wanted to buy all the parts new. At least that's my take.
