Hey i purchased tein ss for an 02-03 wrx, bought i forgot that the suspension is different for an 05 sti. Wass wondering if there is a way to make the suspension wprk. If so please help, dont want to go through more work trading and selling. If there is any way the 02 suspesnsion will fit on an 05 sti, HELP ME.

 

I think your SOL... the 05 sti is completly different from everything else (except for 06 models). You can't even put the 05 STI stock suspension on an 05 WRX.

 

depdivr is right, the 05 suspension for the STi is different then all the other model WRX. You need to look for 05 WRX suspension and older to fit your vehicle.

The time and effort it would take to modify the mounts (not even talking about the consequences afterwards) would be much more then simply selling what you have and getting the right parts. Don't frankenstein it.

 

I noticed one thing though.. On the 04 STi's, the CV Boot is VERY BIG and has very little, if any clearance to the stock suspension. But when working on a friend's 05' STi, I do not recall a blatantly big CV boot, or so I think ...

But yeah besides that, the mounting holes and stuff are different like everyone else said.. I think wider.
