Default Impreza Classic STi stock suspension

here in the US, we get the 'low end' versions of just about every car on the planet (not counting the poorly built american vehicles).

i am looking for the complete stock STi suspension from an Impreza Classic. i would prefer something from the 97-00 vintage (no Bugeye/New Age).

i'm curious if anyone has their old, stock STi suspension for sale...

if possible, i would prefer to get the complete setup: struts, springs & strut tops.

please let me know! thanks!

I will be replacing my suspension in about a week or two's time. So my 98 STI suspension will be available.

Not sure im gonna flog it straight away tho. And id imagine delivery to the US would be insanley costs.

Cant you just get some coilovers?

i already have coilovers (Bilstein PSS9) and the ride is more suited for track/autox, than daily driving.

beyond that, with my daily driving (jumped the car once on accident), i've already ruptured one of the coilovers (it puked oil from the strut top to the mounting ear) and it needs a rebuild now...

plainly put, they are TOO aggressive for daily driving... i need some shocks that are more forgiving...

i understand that the shipping will not be cheap at all... i understand you not being in a rush to off them once you do your swap. if you do decide to sell them, please let me know.
