Compatible Shocks for 02 WRX Wagon

[boyracer693]

Wanting to possibly upgrade my struts in my 02 WRX Wagon as they are too high and i have way too much body roll for my liking.

I understand with a few models it is interchangeable and that most of them fit however not sure on exactly what can work without too many modifications.

My Question is..What ones do fit and what would be the best recommendation? STI Shocks & Springs (Pink Springs)? GT Legacy Bilstein Shocks and Springs? etc

All input is appreciated

Get some STI Pink struts. Easiest and best way to do it if you don't want to spend $$$ or get a cert.

Also stiffer swaybars will help with body roll without compromising ride too much.

v7 sti wagon struts and springs, best bet.

HAVE to be wagon, or you will have a massive headache with positive camber and ass sag in the rear

Did you have these same issues with your wagon? or does it have the standard struts and springs?

I was thinking about just changing the springs and leaving the standard shocks but unsure if the rear would sag

My wagon is ggb, so sti ;-)

The wagons have a slightly narrower rear, i was running wagon struts in my forester and had to run camber bolts to correct the positive camber, opposite would apply going for sedan struts in a wagon, excessive negative camber. Plus the sedan damper rates and springs are slightly softer than the wagon.

In saying that, you could always run like, 1/2 inch spacers at the top of the struts and camber bolts and it'd be ok. Not the best, but ok
