Not so sure, were the shocks the same for the later wider rear track? I know that changed in 2004......

I'd be careful and make sure before buying, i know the KYB catalogue has different rear shocks for wrx's and sti's!

They will fit...but, from past experience, I wouldnt buy second hand STI shocks. Rears are prone to knocking, most began to fail early in life. So if there not knocking now, they will.

Managed to track down some new original ones for £120 per corner. It'll get me out of bother till new year. Can any of you recommend a complete kit for then? Also whilst that's getting done goin to get all the bushes and rubbers done. Anything you might recommend getting done whilst shes going to be in pieces. Rather do it in one hit.
