Default Would '04 STi coilovers fit '06 STi?
I searched and saw a thread saying that the 04 and 05 STi struts are not interchangeable. So I'm just wondering if thats the case for all models from 2005 and later (specifically the 2006)?

Thanks.

Different hub sizes for a start. Didn't Muggz say his coilovers were coming out in the next day or two. Not sure if he has a buyer but his car handled great. Might be worth dropping him a PM.

Haha yeah I'm getting his car, pending a compression test this arvo!
I don't have the cash to get coilovers now, but I wanted to know what would fit and what wouldn't so I can look around in the future.

Keep your eyes out for some Group 4's if any come up second hand. Be rare as hens teeth now but great if you can get them.

I picked up a pair in Feb or Mar. Probably the ones you were thinking of. Very happy with them. Keep an eye on rexnet.
