Wagon Suspension option?
I plan on buying some AGX struts and Eibach prokit for my WRX wagon.
After doing some searching, I have found that most say GC8 front AGX fit fine on the wagon, but the back are too low, and WRX front AGX are too high on the wagon, but the back fit fine.
SO I plan on ordering a Eibach prokit for the WRX wagon, front KYB AGX for a GC8 and rear KYB AGX for a WRX wagon.
Does anyone see a problem with this setup? Is there something I am missing?

i wish somebody would answer you, it sucks when you dont get ananswer
i am in the same boat as you, i remember seeing something of the osrt on a web site and was kind of confused. i am leaning toward teins with the same AGX but am worried if the ride height will be to uneven, will be checking your post to see if any answers

I dunno...but DAMN IT.....SOMEBODY do it already and let us know!!!!!!
No reason it shouldn't work. I've mis-matched parts before and it worked great...most of the time anyway...
I really like my AGX's on my sedan with the Eibachs, although I'm gonna try a bit stiffer spring. I'm at 3/3 and I want a bit more spring. The wagon springs are stiffer than the sedan springs....mmmmm....maybe.....

Sorry it took me so long to see this guys.
Slatts, yes, the info you have is correct. Sedan struts are too long in the front, which causes camber issues, and the GC struts are incorrect on the rear. The setup you described will work just fine.

Acording to KYB the rear WRX AGX's are the same P/N for the wagon or sedan and no P/N listed for the WRX wagon front, yet.

should i take a picture with the struts side by side with rulers on them in order for people to believe me?!?!
i cannot believe that it has been 2+ years since the WRX came out and people on these boards still do not know that the front struts on the sedan are longer than the ones on the wagon.

The strut length difference is from the lower spring perch to the hub bolts. The front springs can be the same, but wagon rears should be different.
