Checking a few Subaru parts sellers the price looks to be around $500-$600 for 4 oem struts.

You may have to do the drill down if the link only starts you off.
But it's worth the work.

Re: STI struts, what will work?

$5-$600 for 4 new struts. that makes $700-$800 for 4 struts that come with a lifetime warrantee not too shabby...

Yet you don't want to know what an SVX handles like with that look. Then again, you already know, you had a 60 Impala!

Cut the front coils for that look.

Have you looked at the Motor Sport Warehouse spring kit? First question I have is how do you determine if the struts now on the car are worthy of being used with new springs?

Tom
Would the $700-$800 struts require more steps to install than oem?

What's your opinion of installing new springs on old struts?
