Question Will Bugeye WRX springs & dampers fit an 03 Blobeye WRX ?

Pretty sure they're the same, but thought I'd check before I waste a day.

Thanks in advance

The only difference between two models is the rear top mount so if you want to use the bug eye rear suspension on blob eye car you have to change them also with MY01-02 version top mounts!

Question

Opposite way round here - If I'm putting 04 Blobeye springs and dampers on an 02 Bugeye, I also need to fit the 04 top mounts?

Please confirm I understand this correctly as some sellers are not including top mounts...

Wich ever way you change rear suspenion between the two different models (bug eye-blob eye) you need the rear top mounts from the same model you took the suspension off!

Thumbs up

Thanks for you patience Jim

out of interest, is it easy to get hold of top mounts on their own? I also imagine WRX and STi topmounts are different

No, WRX and STI top mounts are completely the same (for same MY cars of course).
