Question suspension swap?

Hey ya'll.
Will an STi suspension be a direct fit replacement for my stock 03 wrx suspension?

I think you need to keep the 03 top hats.

If it is from the 04 STi then it will bolt right in, assuming you are talking about shock/spring/top mount.

The 05's will not work for you.

Thanks guys. Windingroad, why do you think I should keep the stock sus. on there? STi suspension would be, well, better.

He means if you are using the 04 Sti suspension you need to use the top hat of the suspension. Part that is connected to the shocks and spring and the chasis of the car. If you are using 02-03 Sti suspension you should be fine ....

There is no 03 STi and he does not need diff top hats.

Top hats are only needed if you are using 02-03 springs on 04 or vice versa.
