But lets take a look at what you suggest. You will need 5x100 (04 STI) hubs/knuckles, which will most likely have more miles than your current hubs/knuckles. Considering the wheel bearings are weaker, they will be that much closer to replacement time.

04 STI hubs are also rare, as are 04 STI in general when compared to 05-07 STI.

You will also need 5x100 front struts, which are also a wear item. They are also a different design, and if you get WRX struts they have different dampening. You should also swap springs over.

And then there are the wheels. You are doing all of this so you can go cheap on USED wheels. What if you crack a wheel right off, or buy a bum set? You will be spending all of the money you saved to fix an issue that would have no existed initially had you no been a cheap *** bastard.

Best of luck:|

Look your right about everyone is being helpful... Except your above comments..

But hold your horses there tough guy. You dont need to come on here and make stupid little kid comments like " stupid thread of the year..."Just no need to put people down on here to make yourself feel better.
Dont you have respect for others? Is this how you carry yourself, like a useless little jerk? Maybe YOU need to get your head out of your *** tough guy...and realize that NOT ALL the info on here has been good. Realize that you dont need to go around trolling on peoples threads to make your sorry *** feel better. I dont give an F about watever useless information you post/posted on here. EVERYONE else helped me out already...something you could have done here first instead of bashing...Not everyone on here knows the same about cars...we all know diffrent things. Im not gonna CONTINUE to waste my time with a little kid like yourself so have a great day mija....

**** God Forbid I have an question and you dont like it...Just do us all a favor. Move on, dont post in my threads, and ill so the same. I have never had an issue with you or anyone else on here. I just cant stand people who think its okay all of a sudden to go from a respectful adult to a jerk little kid just because they are on the computer. We still dont know each other yet you can come on here and makes stupid comments..?leave that for the little kids and not for grown ups.. YOu could have taken the adult route and just have been like "no you are down grading and so so so so so." Instead you talk ****. This is a forum that we use to ask questions on/things were not so sure on...Next time be helpful before your a **** talker..
