    Need a set of 05-07 WRX/STI struts and/or springs to lower my '07 Forester. Also open to knowledge dropped in regards to sedan vs wagon struts in the rear so far as camber goes.

    Thanks,

    Eric

    02-07 WRX Sedan front struts will differ in camber from wagon front struts. For example, if you put WRX sedan struts into a WRX wagon, you will lose approximately 0.6 to 0.7 degrees of negative camber. I'm not sure how this relates to a forester, but I would assume that a forester is similar to a WRX wagon.

    The camber in the rear is the same in a WRX sedan vs. wagon.

    The spring rates are different between sedan and wagon, but I am not sure on specific numbers. You would be more prone to saggy butt with sedan suspension, but saggy but spacers (made by paranoid fabrications and several others) resolve this issue.

    Now I"m looking for stock suspension too...so back off! haha jk, good luck in your search :coffee:

    Got a set of '04 WRX wagon springs and top hats from phi11. Mods can close/lock this thread if that happens on WTB posts.
