95 WRX with 2006 sti spec-c suspension?
Hello,
One of my front springs has broken, some strange Jap stuff and can't find a replacement. The garage I use has offered me almost brand new stuff off a 2006 sti spec-c, does anyone know if this gear will fit? Garage thinks it will, just wanted to check, any possible downsides to fitting this stuff?
Cheers,
Neil.

ten years of continuing development, bigger body shell, wider track, and it still fits a classic ? Not very likely, HOWEVER I find NASIOC a good source of info on stuff like this....

Rear uprights changed at 06MY, so I doubt the rear struts will fit your uprights as they won't fit an 05STi!
You will need classic topmounts front and rear, BUT the rear topmount to strut joint changed at 04MY, although apparently if you retorque the top nut with the vehicle weight on it it works out 'OK' otherwise you get enough play to get a rattle at the rear as the joint isn't perfect.
03MY Sti suspension will fit yours OK with just the topmounts swapped!
