I've been doing alot of research on it becasue i just bought a 2005 RS. Coil over kits for a 04-05 wrx work fine. front and rear sway bars work. the endlinks work too (orfourse). i'm pretty sure lateral links and things that that work too, but i'd need to double check. Strut braces work.
As far as brands go, i'd stick with names you know like tein, perrin, & cusco.
Hope this helps.

The drivetrain and suspension are the same from the respective sedan/wagon for RS/WRX in 05, minus the rear limited slip in the WRX.

Differences:

wrx has 17mm rear sway bar (rs has 13mm),
wrx has slightly stiffer springs than the RS...

hi, i did a search, and found this topic, i have the exact same problem,

i have 2.5RS, so if i were to buy tein basics, i would buy the WRX 04+ right? because there is NO specific 2.5RS tein coilvers for my 05 2.5RS

the reason why i bump, is because, i just wanted to be 100% sure before i make the purchase.
