Sedan fronts work fine- it's the rears that give you camber issues.

Edit. No they don't. Sedan GD struts are longer than wagon struts from the hub bolts to the lower spring perch.

uhhh, kev you may want to check that statement.

after trying the front AGX with cusco adjustable camber plates on my wagon, the front was WAY too high. and i do mean WAY too high. keep in mind this is with the stock springs, but still, it wasn't even close to being close.

oh yeah and the cusco adjustable front strut tops don't exactly work well with the AGX. first of all, the nuts that come with them are too small for the threads on the AGX so you will have to fork over another $30 for the right nuts. then, you'll find that once you've got everything together that the upper spring perch has room to "float" due to the excessively tall "intermediate" part of the strut piston right below where the threads are. this alone shouldn't cause problems as the spring is partially compressed when you tighten the strut top nut so that if you were to top out the suspension, there shouldn't be a clunk. still, the fact that the upper spring perch isn't held secure in place didn't cut it for my taste, so i had spacers made that would allow the upper spring perches to sit high and be clamped in place by the strut top nut.

I'm too lazy to read this thread again... but ONE NOTE OF CONCERN!!!

The WRX Sedan front AGX will not work correctly on the wagon- only the rears work correctly. You will need koni inserts for the front if you don't use adjustable tops.

yes, helladumb is correct.

the front AGX raise the front ride height of the wagon and give it positiv camber. this sucks ***. if you're using noltec strut tops, they well raise the ride height ANOTHER 0.75" and your car will look an handle RETARDED. i really hope you guys read this.
