08+ WRX or 09+ Forester fronts will bolt in (although the Foz ones might have different dampening rates)

Gen 3 rears are bolt in.

Gen 3 fronts will work but will require aftermarket Gen 4 strut tops.

I have a set of Gen 3 coilovers in mine with OEM gen4 strut tops from the billies. It required custom bushes to be made so the strut tops sat tight on the strut.

So we dont really have exactly the same as something else like the 04-07 Sti for example.!


Just trolling around looking for a good deal and can see soooo many different types!!

Nope, unfortunately not.

All pre-08 WRXs have a full McPherson strut system. The difference is the Liberty multi-link rear which means the bottom of the rears have a single bush and a bolt, whereas pre-08 WRX rears have two bolts (identical system to the front).

The only WRX bit of kit we can use is the front 08+ WRX (or 08+ STI or 09+ Forester). The rear top hats from the 08+ WRX will fit, however, apparently the bottom bush and bolt is the wrong size for a Liberty. (and vice-versa; there have been people who have tried to fit Gen4 Liberty rears into a SH Forester but it didn't work)
