QUICK: will 2006 STi suspension swap to a 2004 WRX sedan?

Post by Mr Kleen »

I'm trying to buy a suspension and work a crazy day at the office today. can somebody help me out? will a 2006 STi suspension swap into a 2004 WRX sedan? it's a complete suspension: struts, springs and top hats shipped for $565. if it works I'm gonna pull the trigger.

I'm 50% sure it will not. I know that the suspension 05-06 is different than the 04 (mounting and stuff). So i think you would need an 04....

i think
96 328, heated leather seats... ummm

after asking on NASIOC I got only 1 reply "No.45"

I asked what that meant and he said this:
You must have a minimum of 5 characters to reply which is why the 45. "No." is only three.
I guess typing "no, it won't" was too much effort? at least he clarified when I asked.

back to the drawing board... :(

EDIT: just called Andrewtech (what a super nice guy BTW) and he said that he just didn't know. he would guess yes, but couldn't say for sure.

^^^ So I take it that means you bought it? If so, I'd see how much of it you could use :)

you can use the springs...But I think in 05 and 06 STI's they changed the rear tophats, not sure.

Only take offs that would fit is the 04.

The STI springs is like the SOA SPT "Pinks"
'05 STI OBP. Once you go black, you don't go back.
