    Picked up an '00 RS last month and these came with the car.

    These were installed last summer and have around 5k miles on them.

    These will also come with stock top hats, as pictured below.

    Also includes spanner wrenches (not pictured)

    These fit 93-01 impreza. From what I understand they should also fit 5x100 GD imprezas (including 04 sti) with use of GD rear tophats.

    $1200 obo

    Would think these would also work on older Legacies.

    These look sweet.

    Ooooooooh. If I didn't already have Bilsteins I'd be all over these.


    Bilstein makes an excellent damper that works well and is cheap to rebuild. I paid $88 shipped for one of mine, which included a new shaft.



    Bump for a rare deal.



    Edit: Looks like those have never seem a winter either. Very nice.

    my 94 legacy sport sedan has a set of AGX struts on it from a 01 RS coupe so i would imagine these would work as well. wish i had the cash. these would rock on my little wagon.

    I think you are right. I'm pretty sure they would work if used with Legacy rear tophats.

    They are being hyped as the best DD coilover on RS25. If they worked better offroad and I didn't feel bad wasting them for rallyx duty, I'd probably keep them.

    They did see some winter action before I bought the car. They cleaned up quickly and nicely. The finish on these coilovers is leaps and bounds better than the sets I've used or handled (KW, BC, Tein, etc...).

    Looks like maybe 440/380 f/r for the STi application, so I would imagine they sprung the GC specific ones slightly lower to account for the weight difference. I believe stock rs is 157/149 F/R.
