Default 04 sti struts fit on wrx bugeye?

hi all
Can someone say me if sti 2004 struts with red prodrive springs and 04 sti top hats fit in my 2002 wrx bugeye?

I know that the front are the same,but the rear top hats are different and i don't know if i'm going to have noise and some "clonck",i have read in some different webs that it's a typical problem in this impreza

Perdon for my english and thanks

I fitted the same into my 03 blobeye wrx wagon with no issues, so should be ok for the bugeye wrx saloon. Any clonking would be due to the condition of the strut, not suitability.

I have the same

today I mounted the sti 04 struts with red prodrive springs and sti o4 top hats in my bug and as supposed front are perfect but the rear had many noises and was jumping the car coming from the back , then I removed the rear struts and I put the springs WRX 2002 with top hats WRX 2002 and the noise had disappeared

i think that i can't use sti 04 rear top hats but i don't know why

Probaly i have to sell my red springs prodrive

Someone have in his bugeye sti 04 top hats with sti 04 struts?
