Car Info: 2004 WRX Wagon, 5 Speed, SRM.
I'm interested in the whole suspension set up. I'm in an 04 wagon, with minimal mods. Let me know a few more details on the set up, how pleased were you, how many miles or so on the struts, how much lowering (I'm looking for minimal if any drop) etc.
You said you've got koni inserts and need stock struts, did you install these yourself etc? Just any more info on the set up you can think of, maybe if you've ever taken it on gravel or just street.
Thanks for the info.

I can fill you in on some of this incase jeff's not around.....hopefully he doesn't mind..haaa.
He did all the work himself and it's done very well.
The set up has very few miles and very little abuse as the car has gone through several motors since it got dialed in. It hasn't been running long enough for a motor to break in and therefore for the car to get run hard. No track. No gravel/dirt road pounding..etc.
if you are looking for minimal drop this is your set up. It's very little. If you're in SC come look at my car...we have the same springs. In my opinion this is the PERFECT set up for a guy like yourself..and me. Guys that drive the cars a lot...daily and who will likely take them offroading but like to be able to smash on the roads. It rides very very well. It handles the corners very well. It's one of the most balanced handling and confidence inspiring cars I've driven. I've driven it. I've been a passenger and I've been behind him in my wagon trying to keep up.
He needs stock suspension so he can put it on his car...hence the trade. If you buy his set up complete...which I recommend it will bolt right into your car. You'll just need an alignment. We can do it in my garage if you want.
all in all this is a smoken deal on a GREAT set up for someone like you or I. It's in great shape. It truly is probably the best deal in his list of parts and all his stuff has been very very fairly priced.

Oh man I'm tempted. His stuff is definitely reasonably priced, that I'm sure of. I'm also reletively confident this was what I was thinking of doing anyways. Got to think about it for the afternoon, I'm moving back east and was going to wait a while to do the suspension, but now I'm not sure I can pass this up.
IPOZESTU - get back to me and lets maybe talk about money for the whole set up.
PM if needed.
OneManArmy, thanks for the response. If you remember correctly I went for a ride in your wagon to hear the exhaust. Oh damn that was a while ago. Hope all is well, I'll let you know if I decide to do this, and definitely take you up on that garage offer. The condo I'm in now doesn't like people working on their cars.
