Got a set of Eibachs on the weekend, and fitted, well tried to fit them today. Fronts went on fine - no squeeks/knocks. Rears however, are alot different.

The springs seem to be narrower on the top & bottom. it doesn't sit in the strut right and the top hat doesn't fit either

I got them from a bloke off ebay who advertised them as being removed from a wagon classic.

 

classic wagon is the same as saloon, replaced my shocks and springs a few weeks ago using parts GC8/GF8 from camskill. mines a wagon.

 

I have a 97 Sti Wagon and bought a pair of rear Sti RA shocks complete and they fitted OK...

 

Looks like ive been sold the wrong springs then! But the fronts were fine.

 

you sure they weren't from a legacy?

 

Fella on ebay said they were removed from a classic wagon... I paid cash on collection. They are nowhere near the same really - bit *****d to say the least

 

reason I ask is I know the classic impreza front struts fit the legacy but the rears are different for the legacy wagon. Could it be that seller meant they were from a classic legacy and doesn't know the difference between that and an impreza? might be worth double checking with the seller if possible?
