v7 wrx/sti sedan or wagon bits.....does it matter??

[benniepak]

hey there......title says it all...does it really matter if bits are off the sedan or wagon? i mean are they different in any way or will they bolt str8 up?

just that i have some v7 struts off my mates wagon and just wondering if the rear top hats is all i have 2 worry bout??

[nztintin]

spring rate or something like that may be different on the rear of the wagon vs sedan.

as far as i know,they bolt straight up.

As nztintin said above,the wagon ones dont give you the saggy bum forester

ok...sori guys i 4got to mention apart from the obvious posting in the foz section its going into my 98 forester...anyway...any idea on how low/handling?? also they are non sti struts

thanks heaps

wouldnt bother with non sti.

same shaft size as your forester ones i think.

and besides lowering it wont be stiffer/better handling i doubt.

Get sti ones they are big shafted like bilsteins and handle much better than foz shocks as well as lwoering to a sensible/nice ride height

[Guest itsgotgo]

yeah the standard ones will drop it on its crack,wouldnt guarantee the the ride stability :-\

had wrx struts in the foz for a bit, not as stiff as sti but better than foz, got sti springs and it was lower but still pretty soft, upgraded to sti struts and was so much better, nice stiffness and good rebound etc, my sti's were off a sedan and didn't bum sag too bad

OMFG i fu**n love this club...thanks heaps guys..all the above helped alot...will chuck in the non sti for now until i find some sti ones coz the ones i got now have lowering springs on them and im kinda really after the look for now BUT when i do get the money i will definitely take your advice and chuck the sti's on...

thanks again guys

or chuck in some sti springs on the v7 struts u have or maybe a set of lowering springs if u want the low look..

shocks wise, with lowering springs i didnt notice much fifference between the differnt units as both seemed to work sweet..
