Default Will 2003 STI suspension/struts fit a 2005 WRX300

Hi, does anyone know if 2003 STI struts will fit a 2005 WRX300. Is it a straight swap? And is it better to go for STI suspension or stick with WRX?

Thanks

Yes, should go right on, though why you'd want to I dunno. Bang crash bounce, yummy.

I'm sure a few STi owners would tell you the WRX struts are a better choice.

I used to own a wrx and then changed to a jdm sti, yes suspension is a lot firmer but it is also better on all but the worst Tarmac, it does skip on bad roads, but overall the firmer ride is better for me but my passengers may disagree. Wrx is better for family car but sti better for performance car, but everyone has their own opinion and what suits one won't suit another. But I would say sti is better, don't forget roll bars are also different on sti so you may want to fit the whole package. Only thing I would say is sti suspension same as yours is prone to knocking and you don't want to fit it to find its shot. So see if you can find out how tired it is before parting with money.
