Default Top mounts for Blobeye Wagon?

I need to figure out which way to go for these. I've seen the quite costly STi ones on eBay, but am I right in thinking that KYB make their own?

How do these stack up against the standard WRX items? I want to go uprated rather than standard equivalent.

Hi there

Personally I would choose Group N Top mounts,WRX are OK,but those Group N are better

Really depends what are you want from the yours car,but I would go with Group N,solid top mounts not sure there,they are OK,but can be noisy

Thanks,Jura

Hi Jura, I can't see STi/Group N mounts for the wagon. Do you know where I can find a set? I believe the Bug Eye items are different, as are the saloon versions?

Cheers.

You sure? I guess you would be with all the work you've done on yours

I've seen some Lemforder ones that say they fit up to 12/2003 production year. That means they should fit mine fine, as it's a 2003 model. But I read on here that Blob and Bug Eye wagons have different top mounts. The website with the ones I am looking at states that they fit both Bug and Blob.

Very confused!

Hi there

Those Group N top mounts will fit yours,on some shocks you will need to use spacers,somewhere over here is thread where you can find the link,I will try find this thread
