Need strut advice

Im going to buy some Prodrive springs for my 02 wagon. Right now I have 47K miles (on stock springs/struts) and I dont know what to do about the struts.

I'm worried that if I leave the stock struts, I will have to replace them, get another alignment, yada yada yada, more time and money to put into it. But I dont want to replace them if they will last another year or longer. I dont know what to do.

What budget options do I have? Can anyone guesstimate how long the stockers could last with lowering springs? Would 04-05 wrx/rs wagon struts fit ?

Thanks!

For struts, I would suggest the KYB AGX 4 way adjustable struts. They are pretty good when matched up with Prodrive springs or JDM STi pink springs. 04/05 struts will fit if you use 04/05 upper mounts.

thanks,
Preston

How much stiffer is this combo than stock?
