BAIC 99-01 2.5RS Guys - Anybody have stock struts & top hats?

So, anybody here have stock struts & top hats that I can borrow so I can get my Tein HA's serviced?

Please let me know! I want to get my blown strut taken care of.

Thanks!

I don't either. Mine are cut up have Koni's in them, and are on the car.

FYI: WRX tophats/springs will work on the front, must use GC Tophat and spring in the back.

You can use GD struts if you have to.

Alignment may not be perfect, but will work for a while until your coilovers come back.

Also: You can use the suspension of ANY impreza from 1993-01 including wagons. So L, Brighton and OBS are ok as well, and will fit. It's not perfect, but you are just looking for temp solutions.

Yup, I just need them temporarily, I have no idea how long it takes Tein to rebuild the struts!

Sweet, maybe if someone has some springs I can insert into there?

Haha, yes, I still have the STi. I don't want to have my 2.5RS Coupe on stands in the garage while the STi is outside - I just don't feel safe having the STi outside with the recent thefts.

Haha, Kyle, I sold it a long time ago. I'll post pictures after I detail it, it needs a lot of work.
