newage springs i thing are different 2001-2002 spring have different tops mounts at the front to 2003-2005 cars, rears are the same.

The newer ones will fit your car but obviously you need the top mounts, I put 2003 sti prodrive (red) springs on a 2002 wrx and kept standard wrx struts and it was fine.But if you buy new springs to suit a wrx from a dealer they will be blue.I would think classic springs would be softer as newage cars are heavier

As far as i know the Prodrive springs will only fit the sti dampers.
i brought some Prodrive springs of a snet member and he said they will only fit sti dampers with sti top mounts.

Prodrive sti springs will fit wrx (newage) as long as you use sti front top mounts.


classics don't fit !
