I have rear struts from a Hawkeye WRX on my bug at the moment!
How is this possible then? Are the WRX ones a different size?
GRD put them on for me when I had my springs fitted as one of the originals had seized.

Hawk WRX is the same as an earlier WRX/STI, the later STI has a bigger hub, so the "webs" on the strut are further apart.... all to get bigger wheel bearings in.

Aaaaah - I see - thanks for the clarification 
The Hawkeye WRX has a different spring seat to the bug one unfortunately - hence my prodrive springs didn't fit so am on the hunt for a bugeye set now....
Well - either that or a front hawkeye set with whiteline springs lol
