Hi

Are all the wrx exhsausts the same fittemnt? i.e. wrx & sti saloon & wagon?

do all parts from a saloon fit the wagon? suspension? engine?

i believe the wagon is narrower on the front & usues different wings & bumper?

i assume the rear suspension is different? to cope with possible heavy loads?

musso2010

As far as i know everything is the same.

I'm almost everything using on my wagon from saloon,specialized parts for wagon technically doesn't exist.

Yes you can fit exhaust from saloon on wagon.

Engine, yes you can fit, suspension yes i have saloon coilovers fitted,almost every part fit wagon(on new age rear bumpers will not fit from saloon)

Wings,yes you can fit front wings from saloon on your wagon(i have fitted as well)

I have fitted suspension for saloon and will cope with heavy load,but when your car will be all the day under heavy load,possibly few days or hours.

i wont be putting heavy loads in car just thought the suspension may have been different. good news that saloon stuff will fit

are the front bumpers the same then? just the wings that are differnet?

i assume there must be some difference in the front suspension set up on the sallon to require the wider wings?

Yes you can fit front bumper from saloon on Wagon without the problem,but i would advise fit as well Wings(£50 per pair).

Its not difference between saloon and wagon suspensions,but this depends on STi or WRX(you can fit both,STi with some modifications).



I have too bugeye wagon

So the saloon bumper is different then? I assume if you fit the wings from saloon you have to fit the bumper?

Hi there
Front bumper from saloon is same from saloon or wagon

Yes i have fitted saloon wings,due i have different bumper(Chargespeed),which will look on bugeye wagon strange with wagon wings.

Ah ok I see.

How do the wider fronts look against the standard rears?

jura11

iTrader: (7)

For me OK,but still looking good...Create wide rear,but will cost little bit more all in

Here is pics how it looks,here is old one pics:

The track is slightly narrower on the wagon, and the lack of wide wheel arches limits the wheel sizes you can fit without risking the wheels rubbing. The main issue is with 18" wheels that need quite a large offset, particularly under lowered suspension. An ET of +48 will probably work, +52 safer, but the higher the ET the harder it is to find wheels, +44 seems more typical which will rub. Otherwise though the wagon is an equivalent platform for modifications to the WRX

I have fitted now 7.5"x18" which seems does't rub at all.

About the ET,i'm now going for Rota G-Force 8.5x18"with ET48.
If wheels will rub(but in my view not),only solution is Arch Rolling for lower offset.

I was going to get the arches rolled anyway as i intend on going 18x9.5

but think i will alos invest in a set of saloon wings if i can find them cheap enough

Hi matey you will need Rolling arches at least,maybe Coilovers too.

You are bought Rota's from James@Anger?

Wing you can buy,have look here,eBay,PH just don't try JPP(Jap Performance Parts),because £85 for used Wings is too much.

Yea coilovers will be pruchased as well!

not bought the rota's yet need boady work all doing 1st & coilovers etc.

i've had a lil look on ebay somebody wanted £48 for 1 wing which i thought was a little pricey

jura11

iTrader: (7)

Yeah i understand,i brought one few weeks ago for £25,if you could get these wanted in Wanted section on every forum,you should have luck.
