2004 Wagon Suspension into a 2002?

I am possibly selling my Tein WGN coilover set-up. If I were to sell to an 04 owner, can we just switch? The 04 owner would have the necessary 02 tophats and I would have a stock 04 suspension. Do you think there would be any major issues?

Chime in.

as long as tophats are switched it shouldn't be an issue... I was just reading about it on nabisco since I'm an 04 owner and we don't have much wagon specific stuff.

Here's a link to someone that did this

Just curious... why are you going back to stock suspension?

Thanks for the help.

Possibly. I'll see if I have a deal with my friend then I'll entertain other offers.

Owl Boogie - you'll need the 04 hats as well. As long as you use a complete 04 strut assembly (hats, spring, struts, etc.) you'll be fine. IMO you shoudn't match 02/03 hats with 04 struts or 04 hats with 02/03 struts. The end of the strut piston differs between the two years. I have found that the hats don't sit properly and lead to knocking. Some haven't had issues, but we did.
