WTB: OEM Rear Strut Top Hats (MY 04+ Impreza)
Anybody have OEM rear strut top hats from any '04+ Impreza-chassis car.... (2004-2007 WRX wagon or sedan, STI, RS, FXT, even Saabaru)?
Crucial offered to sponsor me with a set of their springs but I'd need the above to make them fit. |

I've got a set of OEM '05 STi rear top mounts... what's a fair price for 'em? $40?

Cool. IIRC they're like $50 or $60 from the dealer...I'll look online when I get home.

SubaruParts.com lists WRX rear strut tops at $52 each. Sounds like $40 for the pair of like-new '05 STI tops is a raging deal. Hell, I should bump the price to at least $50, since that's still less than half the cost of WRX ones!

You know you won't be able to keep your struts with those, right?

The washer mod has been known to fail, since it's still not totally secure. People have the hole in the topmount bored out wider by vibrations and odd stuff like that.
Quote from NASIOC: Quote:
I looked at doing this when I was getting rid of my coilovers (in fact, I think you pointed me to the washer mod thread on NASIOC orginally), and decided based on all the feedback that it wasn't worth the potential trouble.

No, unfortunately they only make MY 04+ fitment.
Thanks for posting that. I think I'm gonna roll the dice though. |

TiC sells a machined, properly sized "washer" for this.

Those are pricey especially if I factor in shipping from Ohio to get it here by Friday.
Where would you suggest I go to buy some high quality washers? |

Maybe Crucial can send you some ceramic coated ones with the springs.

R&E fasteners can probably find something for if you know the specs (I.D., O.D., thickness, grade). But I wouldn't run on standard Lowes washers for very long, 'cause apparently you'll wear out the top mount eventually.

If it's not worth doing the mod the "right" way, such as it is, then I guess I wasn't very helpful. But if you're gonna do things half-assed, go right ahead. But don't bitch because you are being too cheap to spend less than $50 to get free springs.

Go big or go home like the I-buy-$140-centercaps-guy. You're getting free springs, take a hit.
