Thanks for the quick responses. any paperwork i have on the car says 2011 Impreza 2.5 SW 4WD, I'm not sure what else can narrow it down as i don't know what to look for exactly. But I did do as you said and went to the car part site.
To make it easier I just entered my VIN number. and should I assume anything that pops up in the search is a viable option for me? Heartless, as you said, I see things from 2008 on up. thanks again.
