Yes they fit straight on.

I have 2008 Hawkeye struts on my 1998 Foz.
Had 2005 Blobeye struts on before that.

What pcd's yours, 100? don't thing the STI ones will due to been 114 pcd but the WRX ones should. Why the springs are different ain't it? Probably completely wrong like, just though I would ask.

wrx ones will fit but hawkeye shocks are prone to knocking, both wrx and sti ones

Thought the pcd thing was just for alloys?

Hence why you can fit sti suspension to a wrx Question

For springs im fitting wrx tein ones.

Correct me if im wrong but the pcd is measured as centre of wheel stud to wheel stud and around giving you pitch circle diameter ?

If the mount points etc are the same you should be able to do it ?

Are the cartridges the same for both ?

If im way of can someone correct me please lol!

WRX and STi Struts etc are interchangeable.
There are no differences with the strut mountings.

The PCD only makes a difference for running gear - Hubs, wheels etc.

sti shocks from a car with 114 pcd ie the last of the blobeyes and the hawkeyes will not fit cars with 100pcd hubs without modification like drew says the shocker to hub mountings are different, the 114pcd mountings are wider and the holes are further apart

Oop's sorry lads. Embarassed

Well it looks as if I bought a set of WRX shocks etc for my Foz.

They were advertised as 2008 Impreza WRX STi struts etc, must edit my signature.

Oh well at least I only paid £26.01 for the whole set and they were only on his car to drive it back from the dealers before he put coilovers on so practically brand new.
