No lol. You have to call import image racing because the stance coil over for the WRX GR chassis isn't listed.

A WRX GR chassis doesn't exist.

WRX is not GR. GR is not the WRX chassis code.

GR is the STi specific chassis code. The WRX has a different code. A GR WRX doesn't make any sense because that code/model doesn't exist.

What is the 2011+ Wrx chasis code? because I am pretty sure it is GR.

GVx for WRX sedans 2011+
GVB for STi sedans 2011+

GRB for STi hatch 08+
GRx for WRX hatch 11+

GE for 08-10 sedan
GH for hatch

but i could be wrong

Either way navyseal. i dont think those coils will fit

Hi. JourdanWithaU,

Based on a lot of Subaru paper work and when buying new parts the 2011+ WRX is considered a GR. I know you own an older N/A model so you probably didn't know but now you do! .

PS: Have a look at my VIN for reference incase you need further proof. If you want to get real specific B is used to define an STi. GV(B) is the 11+ WRX/STi sedan and GR(B) is used to describe a 11+ WRX/08+ STi hatch.

PSS: To clarify i was not saying those coilovers should fit his car.

He has a GH.

B may be used to identify a STI now, but it was not previously. My car is a GGB and it is a WRX. In the 02-07 wagons it notes a styling change, while the chassis are essentially the same.

STI is officially all caps now, no more small "i" if we are getting picky

Awesome. On the current year 11+ WRX it was more then just a styling change unlike previous years then. We also have a wider track, wider wheels, and firmer rear subframe bushings from the STI compared to the 08-10 WRX GH's.

STI needs to update their STi badging they place on all the cars so i can get it right lol!
