yep should be a straight swap..

however you will get the famous 'bump sag' if you use sedan struts/springs
wagon spec ones in the rear are better suited from memory

^^WHS. Sedan struts are fine, it's just the springs. Need the stiffer spring rate for the heavier rear end.

GC8 won't be a direct fit, the rear top hats are different. If you get GC8 gear just swap the rear top hats with the Forester ones and you're good to go.

+1

'98+ Forry utilises the GD stud pattern for the rear strut.



The hat on the far left is GC8.. the next 3 are GD pattern

tj have a set of gc8 struts and springs from a 98 wrx. they were on the car from the dealership when it was bought brand new around the corner to where it got coilovers fitted.

You can have the for the low low price of nothing. or even better if you have a rubber elbow thingo so we can fit the front mount kit we bought from you to a 94 wrx tdo4 that would be awesome haha.
