FS Tanabe NF210 springs

I mail ordered these when i first picked up my wagon not knowing that subaru changed the spring design after 2003 so my loss they don't fit the fronts worked but the rears wont work I am willing to lets these go for $150 anyone needs a nice set of springs for a 02-03 WRX hit me up with a PM
They are the Tanabe NF210 normal feel springs they give the car a nice drop with a normal ride. i did drive it with the fronts in and they are really nice ride.

How many miles were driven on the front and rear springs? What was the front wheel gap like when you had the front Tanabe springs on? Do you have any pictures of how it looked on the car?

as the post says only the front springs were installed and i only drove it about 20 miles the drop is about 1.5 in the front the rear should drop about 1.0 as per the springs specs
the gap in the front is about 1" above the stock tires your car will vary due to i put these on a 05 wagon and they are made for 02-03 sedan

what would it take to get the rears to fit on a 04+ impreza? the bugeye top hats? and will the fronts just work with the 04+ struts/tophats?

i believe the fronts will work but the rears will need the 02/03 top strut mounts.

yeah if you change top hats they might work but being mine is a wagon i dont think there is enough space around the top hat for the 02-03 hats so you might want to take a look and see if there is a extra inch or so up in there because the spring is a inch bigger at the top on the 02-03 models compared to the springs that are for a 04-05.....
i just want to sell them now because im getting coilovers instead so i can play with the adjustments.
