seems like the STI springs fit on the 08 2.5i?

http://www.subaruwrxparts.com/produc...et-p-1222.html anyone know if this is the same as the 07 sti springs?

Okay, here goes... just got mine yesterday...

Location: San Jose, CA (looks like a lot us here!)

'08 WRX Wagon white 5sp

Mods: Nothing yet

Soon (next 30-60 days): Bars, short-shifter, tint, 18" wheels

Little longer than soon (3-6 mos): Springs/shocks when I figure out the best combo

Later, but not that much later (12-18 mos): 400+ hp

Rob

Edit: Under "little longer than soon" also add the STI roof spoiler.

Yes they fit. But, the strut's dampening is no where even close to handling those spring rates. Nor, are the top hats strong enough.

08 STI and 09 WRX + STI have stronger rubber top hats.

OMG, I got a new bumper, painted it, and repainted my hood and rear doors.
One trip to tahoe and there are already rock chips in all of them, one deep enough in the hood it went to metal. Time to repaint and put a clear bra on this time
