'06 WRX Wagon Struts/Housings - $50 firm
perfect for a koni-conversion on an '02+ WRX. wagons retain your camber. sedans gain camber! makes install easier and provides a little security incase you screw up. perfect for if you want to cut and send your housings out for powdercoat. selling for what i bought my "new" housings for. would not consider them as strut replacements as they've got more than a few auto-x's on them.

san francisco proper.

I'm interested, but I was just in SF this weekend and likely won't be back anytime soon. Let me know if you happen to be coming through Reno.

LOL, I hear ya. We really need some decent snowfall.

I'm in no hurry for the struts. I just want to be ready when my KYB AGX's blow.

very interested. These will swap in to a 02 Wagon without any modifications? I thought I read some place that the 04 and up wagon suspension is a little bit different? or is that jus the tophat?

You'll need MY04+ fitment tophats and springs.

that won't work for me then. I've got prodrive springs right now so that means if I get these I'd need to get new springs and find new tophats.

You should just pick up some Tokico D-Specs or KYB AGX's and call it a day then. You'll have to deal with some positive camber up front, but that's nothing that camber bolts in the top and lower holes can't fix. Your best bet may actually be KYB GR2's as they're the only aftermarket bugeye wagon fitment struts available. They're only slightly higher performance than OEM and not adjustable, but they're inexpensive and plug 'n play.

these are for a koni conversion, in which case you would buy the 02/03 koni inserts. my understanding is you would then be able to reuse your current springs and top hats. i have to look in to that more though. you end up cutting the top half of the strut to mount the koni's in to.

so pwu... you can use your existing springs and top hats i believe. the fronts for sure, i'm not sure about the rears (nothing group n mounts wouldn't solve), it just takes ordering the correct koni parts. i'm using 02 wagon housings for my koni conversion. that's why i have these. i bought an extra set of housings.

i need to look in to it more still.
