Sedans and wagon suspension are farily different, so not all parts that fit sedans work properly for wagons.
Interesting. The suspension seems to fit fine. *shrugs*

What kinda rotas you trying to sell?

Didn't end up buying them.

That's good to know on the PSS9s, as I might consider that setup

Stock... Because the coilovers I want cost a few bucks. Have considered many things, but have been pretty happy with the Mann stage 1 setup so far.

Perrin front strut tower bar
Whiteline front (22mm fixed) and rear (22mm adjustable) swaybars
Whiteline HD endlinks F/R
Whiteline Anit-lift kit
Whiteline steering rack bushings
OEM STI swaybar mounts
Whiteline rear strut tower bar with quick disconnect (GST)

Pretty close to mine. If you sell your car I wouldn't mind that ALK and rear strut bar. LOL.

My set up.
AGX struts
Pink wagon springs.
Whiteline 24 mm adjustable front sway
Whiteline 24-27mm adjustable rear sway
Whiteline HD rear sway bar mounts
Whiteline HD rear endlinks
Whiteline HD front endlinks
Whiteline Steering Rack bushings
Camber Bolts

I'll probably have the whiteline rear sway bar locks and subframe locks on pretty soon along with a few different bushings in the rear.

Hey dude how much of a difference do the whiteline steering bushings make? In your opinion is it a good buy for under $100??

I would have to almost sgree with this; it made a small increase in wheel turn response. Besides that, noticing a difference was hard for me. *installed at 115,xxx miles*

The bushings are nice. But if your car is low mileage you really don't need it.

It's the high mileage hard abused cars that'll notice it. I've seen bushings come out that were seriously mush.

I noticed a little slop come out. It's just one of those... why not things you do if you're under there anyways.
