Howdy all,
looking for some struts to fit a 1997 outback wagon. Anything really, not fussed, as long as it fits and isn't shagged.

I got a set of gen 4 ones you can have for free. Not sure if they fit though

Not even close to fitting unfortunately.
Your about 8 weeks too late. I had a full set of 3000km old ones for sale from my '97 OBK and it took ages to sell them.

Just my luck hey. I'll have to keep hunting.
Will GC8 WRX struts fit a series one OBW?

Fronts will, rears have different tops, but the struts are shorter.
SF '99 - '02 Forester is a direct fit.

thanks for the info.
I can swap springs and top hats, and have the ability to make spacers if I do go with gc8 struts, but I suspect spacers, even if I milled from billet ally, would not pass roadworthy?
