    I believe they are from an 04. What ever year RichWRX's car is.

    I bought them from him for $50.

    They sat in a box in my garage.

    Now I am selling them for $50.

    want to buy IF they will fit in my '07 2.5i w/out sagging out the rear end. Already have 25k miles on my car...lots of heavy wine loads too, so my struts may need replacing soon too. Would the stock struts die in these springs?

    How many miles are on these springs?

    I'm afraid you'll have to research fit for your car.

    I would guess that the stock struts would not die with these springs as the rates aren't as stiff like some aftermarket springs.

    I don't know how many miles are on them but they came off of Rich's car pretty early in the game since I've had them for a couple years sitting, and as far as I know Rich swapped them out when he was doing all his mods.

    If you can give me more details on how many miles they have and confirm they're from an 04, I'd be very interested

    And they're from an 04 for sure.

    04-07 STI SPRINGS will fit any 02-07 subaru, requires the 04-07 rear tophats, and if using 02-03 style struts, a spacer (washers/part from TiC)

    04 STI STRUTS are the only STI struts that fit non STi imprezas

    Also, for a NA car, the STI springs keep roughly the same (drops maybe 1/4 in.) ride height as stock, due to the NA car's lower weight. Not entirely sure about saggy butt on the wagons, though.

    Also, stock WRX/RS/2.5i struts will wear faster using higher rate springs, but how long they last is entirely up to you (miles driven so far, how hard, etc). It's not like they'll die overnight.

    This guy does have the 1/4in shim in the rear, looks pretty normal. The way the arches are cut, it always looks like the back is sagging / front is jacked up anyway. ;)

    If mosc doesn't take 'em I will (if he really offered to pick them up before me). If anyone else has some 04+ STI springs I'd be willing to buy them.

    Sorry for all of the confusion people.

    Yesterday I pm'd mosc and asked him if he was still interested since I confirmed the info he asked about and he told me he would be "very interested".

    However, SleeperWagon technically called dibs on both a PM and on this thread before mosc. (about an hour ahead)

    I have to offer them to SleeperWagon first.

    If SleeperWagon doesn't come through, mosc is next in line.

    Thanks and sorry again!

    I failed to read the definition of "dibs" on the forum rules, my apologies.
