Default Blobeye wagon lower arms

Hi all, do these look like blobeye lower arms?

They're on eBay and are stated as wagon wrx arms but no year or anything. I've messaged the seller and I'm still waiting to hear back.

I'm 100% sure they aren't classic arms as I got a pic of a set that were for sale on eBay and stated as classic arms and they look different.

What I mean worried about is whether they're bugeye or blobeye arms because supposedly the bugeye arms won't fit the blobeye because they foul the subframe or something like that, I got that from the fella at importcarparts when I was trying to source arms for my wagon.

This is for the father in laws non turbo wagon

Thanks

Haven't MB developments got any wagon arms?
These do look like the steel arms from a newage wagon and the drop link mounts look right but it's going to be hard to be sure without putting them next to some known ones.

Stick with MB developments. There may be cheaper parts out there but I'm yet to get any duff bits or bits that don't fit from him.

I thought they were both the same but the nearside one has a diffeeent mount for the drop link, that's the one he needs and that might be a newage arm. I sent the message on the listing for the o/s arm so I've asked about the other one. They're listed separately.

I'll see what the reply is, fingers crossed.

He's got nothing for the wagon, non turbo anyway. I can't go down the same route as I did with the saloon arms because the arb won't clear the manifold on the non turbo.

20090FE000 is the Subaru recall warranty number for the wagon steel arms - 2 x arms (no rear bushes), 2 x ball joints and assorted nuts - $130 in the US.
But, would any UK Subaru dealer sell it to the public here?

Front steel wagon right arm with front and rear bushes + ball joint:
20202FE440
alt 20202FE460
alt 20202FE860
alt 20202FE861

Front steel wagon left arm with front and rear bushes + ball joint:
20202FE450
20202FE451
alt 20202FE470
alt 20202FE471

Import Car Parts seems to have them in stock. £50 each brand new
EDIT: For the turbo I mean, not sure if they are the same

Blob? I'll go have a look.

I've just looked, that's the arms that fit the bugeye, I phoned the, up and asked about them when I had problems with my arms and they told me they don't fit.
