Default Will UKSTI Prodrive bugeye 2002 shock and Eibachs lowering springs fit a WRX 2002 bug

Please help...... Will the shocks and Eibachs lowering springs from a 2002 bugeye UKSTI Prodrive saloon fit on to a bugeye WRX 2002 wagon. I have tried ringing a Subaru dealers but they are unsure but think there shouldnt be a problem. Hopefully 1 of you guys/girls can help. My rears are knacked and I am needing to know. I can get the STI's all 4 front and backs at a reseaonable price and really want them but will they fit?

Was your bugeye a WRX or also STI? Mines a WRX and the shocks are from a STI

yes they will fit. rule of thumb is as long as the car they came from has the same pcd as you then they will fit. The only difference between a bugeye and a early blobeye is the cups on the tops of the springs are different.

mine is a bugeye and the sti is also a bugeye of the same year. BUT what does the "pcd" stand for?

Pitch circle diameter.

Bugeyes and early blobeyes are 100pcd and late blobeyes and hawkeyes are 114pcd.

you will be ok as you have a bugeye and the stuff is coming off a bugeye.
