I believe the topmounts changed between bugeye and blobeye so the springs wouldn't fit your existing struts. I think if you got the full suspension legs including the mounts from an STi8 then they should go on your car tho ??

Depends on what an STi8 is................
If it's 03MY the above applies, if it's 02MY then they will fit straight on. They are however designed for a heavier car and won't reduce the ride height if that's what you're after. Ride may suffer as well.

Indeed - I was assuming STi8 = MY03 blobeye, but it's anyones guess really as STi7,8,9,10 .... are made up and always confuse me.
I nearly bought some foglight covers advertised as STi7 (assuming that was bugeye) only to find they were MY03. Oh how we laughed.
Didn't know the STi was heavier than WRX tho.
