Ohh yes rears shot.

Mines a 2005 WRX - what is yours ??

Were the STI ones a straight swap ??

What I am really trying to find out is will 03/04 STI KYB Ultra SR replacements fit ( I think they will) and would this cause a problem on WRX with std fronts ????

pretty sure they wont fit, i belive from 2005 the rear shock lower mount changed, you will need a shock specific for 2005on, do you know what pcd your wheels are? If they are 5x114 then they defo wont fit thanks rob

No 05 wrx's are 5x100 as pre '05 STI's - Thats why I think they are the same.
