Blair, I'm still waiting on my supplier to get back to me on this...he wasn't sure.

Does anyone know if wagons are same as sedan??

Recommendations for spring rates are the stock ones, they are quite comfortable for a performance coilover (compared to many of the mainstream Jap ones i.e. Tein).

this is what a dude from otomoto sent back to me:
"our HSD to suit GDB will fit the 2004 XT Forester."
sooo i think you can more of less say coilovers dont matter if wagon or not. i think the spring rates r the important one.
i dont know. im noob.

With my GC8 wagon which had HSD's in it, the rears fit ok, but the struts stuck out a little further, so the stock wheels wouldn't fit on the rear!...

Luckily the 3 sets of different aftermarket wheels I had all fit... So, I would say they should fit(GC8 at least) but you may have issues with wheel clearance!

And you totally need to utilize that 90mm... such a lift kit!

Default hsd coilies

i have hsd hr's in my gc8. I have found the rear a little hard(they re drift spec) BUT, I haven't had the time to change rear dampers. Thouroughly reccommend em. just remember the front struts come without brake line locators so bring out the cable ties!!

Just wondering but is this a problem with the gc8 sedan?
sorry if this is a noob question but would rather ask then find out later.

Quite a few people on here running HSD's in their GC8's, so can anyone help answer that question? The majority of people I've sold HSD's to are running aftermarket rims.

As far as I know, its been fine.
