STi Suspension

I have complete set of stock 04/05 STi struts, springs and tophats for sale, I pieced together from a couple other members, was told they have about 15k on them....Decided not to install on my car. Would like to sell them all together for $350, or trade for a CD head unit or maybe other parts I can't live without...

The struts are from an '04 and the springs and hats are from an '05...although I believe they are all one and the same and will work for '02-'04 WRX's and STi's...

The only differences between an '04 and '05 STi's are the wheel fitment I believe, other than that everything is the same...I have an '04 WRX sedan and everything is plug and play, so to speak...

wanna just sell the struts? 05 tophats arent going to work with the gc chassis.

do these clunk at all? i know sti struts are VERY prone to clunking and it seems you just acquired these and are now selling them...

05+ struts mount differently to the hubs so they wont work with any WRXs, only 04 and earlier(jdm) struts will bolt to WRX hubs, though it sounds like your setup is good to go for a WRX, just wanted to clarify for anyone else who was still concerned

I have actually had these sitting around for a while, but I decided not to install, as stated above. Someone who has installed this setup may be able to advise you further on the clunking. If someone wants the whole set, I'd like to sell that way, but I'll sell the struts alone for $275 (As far as I know you will have to get harder tophats that fit the GC8 and WRX to match the stiffer struts [Krinkov?lol]) ....Krinkov, thanks for the info, you learn something new everyday
