05 Rack bushings?

I had the whitelines on my BF Legacy and as is commonly known they made a big difference....of course the OE passenger side bushing didn't really exist. But I now have an 05 RS wagon and want to install the whitelines on it, but I kinda recall a rumor that they might not work on 05's. Is there really any difference, I can't think of any.

This is true. I wanted to have the bushings put on my 05 wrx, but they do not fit. I was told that Whiteline will have bushings for the 2005 models "soon."

Bump, upon doing more research it seams the 05Sti's have done away with the soft suby bushings. So would finding those Sti bushings be an option, or should I keep my pants on for a vendor to get something out.

The 05 sti and wrx (most likely other models as well) have done away with the soft bushing mount design. They now use a solid mount on one side and bushing on the other. The new setup does not need rack bushings as it does not move like older designs.
