I want the wider track of GD aluminum arms, so these have to go.

Hmmm...
Anyone know if these match the shorter track of the GD Wagons??

[QUOTE="BrewMasta;3562439"]Hmmm... Anyone know if these match the shorter track of the GD Wagons??[/QUOTE] needs a spacer but it came off of a GD wagon.

The track is the same as the GD wagons, I had them on my car. You'll just need sedan endlinks.

The 2-3mm spacer/washer goes in between the subframe and the front control arm bushing to fill the gap. The GC front bushing is 2-3mm shorter than the GDs, so it creates a very slight gap.

The right way to do it is press out the front bushing and press in a GD bushing

I've got these in my yard if you're interested... Here is a quote from my sale post.

OK, they are technically GD STI model control arms with GC width bushings. That means these are non-caster adding, but 10mm wider track than GD wagon/GC sedan(?) width, ~1.5lbs lighter per side than steel, and the transverse bushing mount can be reversed and shimmed for extra caster like the last photo.

With the rear bushings aligned (almost..), you can see the ball joint is farther out (~10mm) than the OEM 02 WRX one below it.

Caster mod - rotate the transverse bushing mount stub 180*, and add shims as needed. These ~5mm of shims along with the caster adding (v9?) arms gave me 5.1*L and 5.6*R caster

You can see how much that moved the front wheels forward in the wheel wells here..
