Default Springs and shocks from STi to WRX

Hi

I have a 2004 Blobeye WRX. Would the blobeye STi springs and shocks fit straight on or are they totally different? Thanks

Hi
Should fit fine as I have MY03 sti eibach springs on my standard MY 04 wrx dampers.Which lowered the car 25mm and improved the handling .
The MY05 STi onward has different mounting bolt spacing due to the change in hub design.

Yes they will fit as a complete unit but on the rears you might need to use your own top mounts off the WRX strut, but you already have them so thats not a problem.

Should be a straight fit, but possible you may need 921 spacers for rear depending year of shocks you remove them from

Just noticed your from hudds,, take it to a guy I know he may check it out, as it could be your top mount or something.
