Default Will Bug Dampers fit Classic WRX?

Hi

I have a 99 WRX and one of the front dampers has completely worn out. I will be looking for some coilovers next year, but until then, I have the front dampers from a bugeye WRX which were only a few months old before upgrading to coilovers.

Until I have the time/funds to get a set of coilovers, I would like to put these on. Can anyone tell me if they will fit?


Thanks

They will physically fit, but, IIRC the newage damper body is longer than a classic.

Most probably make your car a bit, well, wonky.

Will fit but you will need lowering springs fitted to them to make it look right

Ok, thanks for replies.

Can I use the springs from current worn dampers on the new age dampers to reduce the height or will it still look funny?
