FS : Version 8 Wagon Struts with RCE Springs

::: SOLD :::


I have a complete set of version 8 JDM wagon struts (very rare and hard to find) with RCE Wagon springs for sale.

The struts are inverted and use the same 39mm piston as the STI struts. These struts are great because they have the correct mounting ears so that the wagon's camber is not lost. Also, these would be great on a sedan as they will add negative camber.

The springs are RCE and designed to work perfectly with STi struts.

The front struts have Group N tophats, standard tophats on the rear.

They ride firm but not harsh at all. The drop is very even and not too low. I never had clearance issues. They have around 20,000 miles on them. No clunks or weird noises.

I have had many wagon set ups over the years and my inverted was my favorite. I'd trade my new agxs and wagon pinks for these in a second.

Any of you stock wagon guys should buy these.

Thanks for chiming in, man. I'm not getting much interest in these so does that mean my asking price is out of whack or is it just the local economy?

Also, willing to trade with stock 16" wheels with a lot of tread (and hopefully all-season tires) for my bugeye. Let me know what you have and we'll talk.

To put it in perspective, I paid $50 for a set of JDM v7 sti struts, and $200 for a set of 2007 USDM sti struts/springs/top hats. Both had around 15-20k on them at the time.

I would say $400 or so for the set, but $600 isnt crazy either.

Sorry... no pics of them on the car. Totally forgot to do that before I removed them.

It's not a crazy drop though. It's still a very streetable setup.

They will fit on your 04.
