Default 1992 WRX Struts fit Forester?

Quick question, will 92 WRX struts fit a 00 Forester? I can buy a set of struts with 2" lowered king springs and boge shock absorbers. Can anyone vouch for boge shocks? I can always remove the springs and shock absorbers then fit them to my strut.

Hahaha, That's what I thought when I saw the ad. I always thought the first WRX was made in 1994. On wikipedia and discovered 92 was the first WRX.

fronts direct bolt in complete with top hats
rears you'll need to re-use your forester top hats

if you can find a set of GD struts & springs they will be direct bolt in top hats & all

And after 20 years I imagine they would be near on shagged. Why not just pester the WRX drivers on here for their stock setup.

It's a set of new king springs and boge shock absorbers. I can just remove the shocks and springs and set them up on my struts. I pick up my 04 STI gold wheels and would like to lower the forester at the same time. $200 for the full set, sounds cheap but not exactly sure what they retail for. Does anyone know?

the shocks & struts are one unit, just use the whole boge strut assembly with the king springs and your stock forester top hats, will all bolt right in
