No.That's different.MY06 REX's manufacturer code is GDA C+.So any GDB,E,F coilovers can not bolt straight in.By the way,if u looking for the coilovers,i recommend the Tein USA.Coz Aus MY06 REX is almost RHD USDM REX.

i thought it was only the wrx sti struts that had the different bolt cts at the bottom of the strut? (the ones that have 5x114 pcd wheel studs)

we all know that 06 wrx sti struts need to have the front strut bottom bolt holes elogated to get them to fit a forester, but as far as i'm aware just the wrx struts (pcd 5X100) bolt right into a forester & vice versa, maybe measure up the holes and compare would be your best bet

The bottom bolts will be fine, its the top hats you have to worry about. My 2000 foz has 06 sti gear in it and the 06 top hats were the right size so I'm thinking they will fit.

Cooj, they'll drop in fine mate.....strut tops should be fine too.
Only thing is, if the Coilovers were made for a Foz specifically you may not get the same amount of drop or you may have to wind them down a bit more to get the desired ride height.

What sort of coilys are they?
