I was just wondering if you guys can answer a question for me. I just bought my wife and 05 RS and everywhere I look I cant find springs for the RS just WRX/STI. My question is, Are the body styles the same for the RS as they are for the WRX?

exactly the same. Now go by some Crucial springs for the WRX and some sway bars.

All the GD body styles ('02-'05 WRX's and 2.5 rs, and '04 STi) suspension parts are all compatible except when you start using OEM STi struts & springs then you'll have to change the top hats to either the the STi ones are Group N tophats, etc. etc. Hope that helps

springs

if a wrx spring is mounted to a non turbo will the front be higher than the rear? Is the 2.5 NA lighter than the 2.0 turbo?
