WRX parts onto HX hatch

[spuddling aka IMPRZF]

Good evening guys, have a couple of simple questions....I have just brought a nana spec 97 HX hatch, will WRX shocks and springs fit straight in, I have a set in my shed from a 97 WRX and they have lowered springs and will V7 STI wheels bolt on?? My HX has drum brake rear so will this pose any problems with attempting these swaps?? Cheers for the help

Will bolt straight on. if you decide to upgrade the rear brakes WRX rear hub assembly complete will bolt on. Most of the parts are interchangeable, they basically build one body and just fit other bits depending on the spec of the car.

from memory.. if you change out the drum brake hubs to later ventilated rotors you will also need the matching hand brake cables

i had to swap them onto a \'93 GC4 that originally had drums. don\'t think i would have gone to the trouble if the old ones worked

the rear brake lines on the chassis are good, the rubber lines from the new hubs will hook up

the spec of your newer car may differ. heads up anyway.

The rear struts won\'t fit if they are out of a sedan. That was the case with my gravel express anyway so would imagine that\'s the same.

Yeah thought about changing the drums to discs but shes just a get to work mobile so they can stay for now. I have read on here that sedan rears wont fit but lucky for me the old STi was a hatch so guess thats a score for me.

Just need to change the top hats. I\'ve got BG Bilsteins in my GF8. Just beware they\'re slightly taller than the GF8 struts.
