Do you mean tophats?

I have *** sagage on my 04 wagon cause I have 02/03 rear tophats with 02/03 eibach wagon springs.
I really want to get my stock springs back on, or get sti pinks so I am not so low.

If you want to help me get rear springs for an 04, or work out some kind of deal I might be down.

mcdrama- I have stock rear springs for the 04 WRX as well as stock 04+ tophats. I'd be willing to trade top hats you straight up and give you the springs if you need them.

Soren,
I have my stock 04 wagon springs still, and the stock tophats(I keep all my stock parts).
My problem is getting them off (no spring compressor).

K, you can swing by the shop and I can do the swap for you. Let me know if that will work.

did someone snap the top bolts? is it a big deal if you do?

shaggadelic- thanks for the offer...I found a set of spring collars that are compatible w/ my 04 Tophats so I won't be needing the 02-03 tophats anymore.

tommysyko- 02/03 rear tophats and 04+ rear tophats are not usually interchangeable...you have to use the 02/03 springs w/ 02/03 tophats. This is also the same w/ 04+ springs and tophats. No...no one snapped the top bolts...the spring collars I had were designed for 02/03 tophats. Lastly, yes, it is a big deal if you snap off a top bolt...may cause clunking in the suspension.
