02 wrx oem struts/coil springs fitment

[stu-nami]

I recently found a whole set of 2002 oem struts with springs included for 250$ and I was curious as to if they would be a direct replacement/swap for the suspension, front and back, on my 2002 legacy sedan
im running 17s and wouldnt mind having a slight drop, if they would do that or not
Will these do the trick?...otherwise ill replace mine with kybs

Won't fit the backs, may or may not fit the fronts, and it's a bad idea to run different mileage/types of suspension front to rear.

OH gotcha, if u dont mind me asking why is it not reccomended to do that?

Things wear out at different rates.

Well, more important than the wear factor is the fact that you are changing the behaviour of the suspension in a way that it was not originally engineered. Say, you stiffen up the front without touching the rear - this will have effect on the handling of your vehicle.

Gotcha, ill just save one more paycheck then do all struts at thr same time, theyre dirt cheap anyways
