Question about suspension

Hey guys random question. I have been looking but cannot find an answer. My question is are the 2006 WRX Sedans suspension mounting points different than the 2003 WRX Wagon? I assume it is, but im curious if its just top hats or, if its more then that.

the short answer is the bottoms should bolt up but you're going to need to change out the springs and top hats to your 03. the fronts will bolt up ok but then you'd have mismatching rates front/rear which is no bueno. you're also probably going to gain some positive camber in the rear because of the wider track so get a set of camber bolts for the rear.

So a buddy of mine has a set of ALLWHEELSDRIVEN Coil overs on his 06 WRX and is selling his car, and is putting stock suspension back on. I have camber bolts already, the coilovers seem to only have a group n top hat so i guess i could swap them out? I read that thread before but its kind of a unique situation.

This should work. As long as you putting in the entire coilover, you should be fine. How the heck did you find someone with AWD coilovers? So cancel your order and get her done! Race in Saturday, yo!
