    will stock 03 WRX struts fit a 93' Impreza using their tophats?

    You might want to contact KYB for that question. I am not sure many people have actually done something like that. I spoke to them once and they were pretty helpful when I had some questions. Otherwise, if someone doesn't chime in, you can figure it out the hardway by determing the suspension geometrys and loads, but that would suck.

    i want to say the fronts will fit but not the back. genya just added some 02 shocks to his 94 L and they wouldnt fit correctly. i would wait for a stronger source than me to chime in though.

    thanks, I asked uncle scotty on nasioc and he said they are the wrong length; so they may fit but definitely not correctly

    Why not just try it and find out then ?

    WRX wagon front struts would work better, they use the same track as the older Imprezas. I think the rears are all pretty compatible as long as you have strut tops that match the springs and struts.

    'cause the guy is in CT and unless you have a 93' Impreza around here it would be mighty hard to do ;)

    Bobby is right. older impreza and wagon fronts are interchangable, but the rears are the problem. Why not just use dedicated 93 struts?

    guys....I have my struts for sale and a potential buyer just asked me if they would fit a 93', it was supposed to be a simple question. He was looking for a cheap upgrade I'm sure.

    On our cars the rears are all the same wagon/sedan. I dont know about with the previous generation.

    I know that STI Ver7(04) struts would fit aslong as you use RS/L springs and their appropriate tophats.

    BTW anyone have any STI Ver7 struts for sale?
