I have a 55 plate WRX hawkeye which I believe is one of the earliest of that shape. Does anyone know if these early models were fitted with STI rear struts? I have just tried to fit koni inserts into mine and they don't fit. What is the difference between the struts and are they interchangable?thanks Neil ps if anyone wants a pair of koni adjustable shock absorber inserts let me know

 

It should have the inverted struts similar to STi, yes, and no the inserts won't fit, normal 03-05MY struts (later top hat mounting) will be a straight fit.

I think you may have answered my previous question ( see 'koni inserts won't fit'). thanks,Neil
