just for a reference the shocks from an 03 sti uk will go on a 05 wrx and are just a straight swap! i couldnt find the answer to this anywhere on the site so am just letting anyone who wants to do this know.

Done them today, took just over an hour n half, they had the prodrive red springs already on them.
car sits flatter and rides a better (less pitching back and forward and roll) from the short test drive i took after fitting them.
will let you know what the ride is like after having them on for a while and going thru some of the roads where the wrx shocks were really bad.

also fitted the walbro, very easy as every one has said so dont pay anyone to do fit it, do it yourself:thumb:
little louder than stock, but was getting dark and didnt put the back seats back in, so probly wont notice after i done that.
