tec Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi there just got me my first forester after a few year of driving mates one just need help with a few things cant get round the head on lowering using wrx springs and struts: Question 1: Just got me a full set of shocks form a 1996 wrx impreza sti wagon to lower my sf5 , now after I got them I end up finding out I needed them from a 02 wagon .now big question is can I still use the 96 front and rear on my sf5 or not . question 2 : Is it possible to use prodrive springs for a 04 or 05 impreza on my sf5 ?, if so which type of shocks should I use with them to get a comfy ride and other suspension component. would really appreciate the help and advice any one can give .

stants Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The fronts will fit straight on but you'll need to change the rear strut topmounts to new age triangular shape from what i understand, not sure abiut the newage springs the seats may differ also, you will nedd a slightly stiffer spring for the rears as the foz weighs more than the impreza you could end up with !Removed! sag, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
