lmdew Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I've done a few of these swaps and they work well. The rear top hats have to be changed over, the front struts bolt right in. In the past, the rear camber was always out some due to the longer strut. On this installation, I slotted the top bolt hole a little under an 1/8". I bolted a spare hub into the strut on the bench and set the hub hole an 1/8 in on the top (towards the Strut). When I got the alignment done it was at -1.8 and I was able to lossen both bolts and pull the top of the wheel out a little to get the correct setting. I think a 1/16 off set would be enough. You can get camber bolts, but they are so little I hate to put them in. If it shifts over time, I'll post back. It seems solid as can be.

lmdew Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yes, but the WRX Struts are different than the Non-WRX Impreza, thus the changes required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 if you have the same year, the only difference is the angle of the bolt holes in the clevis if you're using wrx sedan parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
