Hey guys i just recently picked up some 03 WRX struts for my 97 LGT. Got a great deal on complete struts with springs. Paid $160 and the struts ended up being Bilsteins. My question is on the springs. I was cleaning them up a little getting ready for the install soon and noticed the springs said Eibach on them. This is GREAT cus i wanted to lower the car a little anyway possibly. I have googled the # i find on the struts but can't get a concrete answer. What i'm looking for is if i DEF have 03 struts and how much drop im gonna get with the Eibach springs on there. The numbers i can see on springs are:
7710.001
7710.002
Any help would be appreciated and i'm all :lol: realizing i already have drop springs and that made the $160 price that much better!!!

eibach doesnt offer much for lowering. generally about .75" - 1.50"
Your spring part numbers match 02/03's

Thanks thats perfect!! I was really only looking for 1-1.5" drop at the most. I still wanna blast through snow etc and not get hung up. Good to know i have what i thought i did year wise.
I have a sedan. Does it matter if the struts came from a wrx wagon or sedan? I dont know what they came out of sedan or wagon they were off the car when i got them.

wagon/sedan will both fit. but wagons sit higher. So if they are wagon struts with the eibachs, you might be sitting the same height as stock sedan.
