Will 06-07 OEM STi struts fit a 2005 STI?

I have a feeling the answer is yes however i'd like to confirm.

Also if you happen to know what's the difference between 05-07 in terms of performance.

Thanks for your knowledge

05-07 suspensions are all the same...IIRC. Feel free to correct me if I am worng...wouldnt be the first time.

yes they will fit.

no difference in terms of performance.

I put them on last night and they fit right up. Just need an alignment now.

Oh and they seem to give the car a more compliant ride vs the 05's. Much less bounce or bobble-head as others refer to it.

Haven't had opportunity to explore the handling differences just yet.

Thanks to those that responded.

do the 06-07's struts have any improvements to address clunking or like others...just a matter of time?

As far as I know, the parts are the same. No improvements. Clunking is inevitable.

What he said. Though not terrible, under certain conditions it still makes them in the rear...
