This might not be possible ... I know for a fact the 05 and later models have an RFID in the key and an RFID reader in the ignition, and if the code on the key doesn't match the code on the ECU the car won't start. Of course, this might not apply to the 04.

'04 does not have RFID. Even QKSubi's 05 or was it 06 didn't as I recall from when it got stolen.

MPREZIV · 2007-10-15, 02:06 PM

Yep, it was an option up to '07, when it became standard.

MikeK · 2007-10-15, 02:07 PM

Oh, so you had to have the optional "security upgrade" to get it?

MPREZIV · 2007-10-15, 02:08 PM

According to Jeremy.

For the love of your deity of choice... someone buy those KW's! I've got a kick-ass set of Tein SuperRace's and if those would fit on my '05 hubs I'd consider picking 'em up at that price!

And Mike, I got all my bits and pieces from Nick. Thanks man!

Double Phister · 2007-10-19, 10:53 AM

+1 for KW praises.

OK, would the KWs fit Sue's '02 wagon? Aren't the hat's different?

I believe they will fit.

cody · 2007-10-19, 12:32 PM

Stock for stock, the STi has different rear tophats (but aftermarket hats probably come with the KW's?) and she'll have a harder time getting neg. camber in the front than a sedan would due to the narrower track of a wagon.

They are made to fit the Stock Top hats in the rear. I run Group N topmounts myself. Egan's are identical to mine.

What was the difference in rear tophats? I've got a set of '04 STi coilovers (as far as the top hats are concerned) on my '02 WRX and they fit fine.

cody · 2007-10-19, 02:35 PM

And the front camber thing is no biggie. In order to run sedan front struts and still be able to run -2.2 in the front, I run a set of aftermarket camber bolts in the lower holes and I can get as much as ~-3 of camber in the front if I want. But with only the OEM camber bolts, I could only get ~-1. Camber plates would be a better (but more expensive) alternative to the cam bolts.

Yah, I'm running those STi rear tophats you sold me (so I can run MY04+ fitment springs). They fit the chassis perfectly. The part of the tophat where the stock springs seat is the difference. It's narrower on non-bugeyes. Maybe that doesn't matter when you run coilovers though?

I get it. It's not an issue with the size or bolt pattern on the top mount, it's the mount to strut interface. In which case the coilover will fit if they've got proper top mounts already, or they will fit if you grab a set of STi rear top mounts.

cody · 2007-10-19, 02:50 PM

True. They may even fit with the bugeye tophats depending on if they're made to use the spring seat area of the tophat or not.

This is a good thread for reference. If it's not already answered there, you may want to post the question there.

Sidenote, Nabisco won't let me search that thread for "wagon" because it's too common of a term.
