best writeup I ever seen for WRX. I'll use it for my own work. I've done a couple VW spring jobs, but never a Subaru. From what I see, the VW are much harder than anything else.. I had to unbolt a half axle or drop the sub frame to get one front off a VW.. this will be cake.

I just did this, this weekend and it REALLY helped. I would recommend that you have another person there to help hold the strut the first time you get it back in. Also, if you have a sway bar installed, you might have to fight with that. I had to fight with mine in the back because the 3 holes didn't match up exactly so that was a pain. Thanks again for an awesome write up!

I'm doing this tomorrow but I have a quick question if anyone can answer it. I've never changed springs before. Is the only thing you have to mark off that one camber bolt on the bottom of the struts?
