Are these on a 06 WRX or STI?

STI hubs from 05-07 are a different size than all other Imprezas.

Please explain how. The front hubs strut mount on 05-07 STI with the 5x114.3 is not the same width as the standard WRX or 04 STI. Looking at your picture above at the coilovers you have, you cannot replace the lower strut mount.

You may think I am being a jerk but I am just trying to make sure someone here doesn't buy parts that won't fit there car.

They fit one or the other, not both.

It's relatively common knowledge that they are indeed different, AND I happen to have KW3's.

They WILL fit 04 STi & 04+ WRX I believe (maybe 02+).

This is a pretty good deal for someone who's car they will fit on.....

That only means they are available for those years. It does not mean they are the same part #.
You can try to sell them to someone with an 05+ STi, but in the end they WILL NOT work & both of you will be sour.
I'm just trying to help you out buddy.......

fair enough, i'll have to look further into it, i just assumed they would fit since the kw1 had a specific break down, i definetly wouldn't want someone to buy them and it not work...that's just wrong in to many ways to write!

Sorry guys if our guide is wrong, I need to have Drew correct it.

02-07 WRX can use 04 STI fitment. But as these guys are saying, the 05-07 STi WONT be able to fit a 02-07 WRX fitment.

Sorry for the confusion.

Myles
