Koni struts: Their quality is legendary, and the yellow “Sport” shock is dearly loved in our community. The newest version of the Koni Yellows for Subaru WRX comes as a set of complete replacement struts for easier install. No more sawing open your old strut cartridges!
Installation notes: The rear strut tops will have to be drilled out to accommodate the larger diameter of the strut shaft. Use a 12mm drill bit. Also, be sure the rear spring perch is correctly oriented down over the circlip on the strut body. THIS IS IMPORTANT! The groove in the perch should fit exactly over the circlip. If the rear perch is upside down, the circlip will be free to expand under load and the perch will be free to fall down the body of the strut. See photos.
Note 2: These struts are modeled after the 2008-2010 WRX shock body, which has a lower front perch than the 2011-2014 WRX. Installing these on a 2011-2014 WRX will lower the ride height in front by about 1/2″. (We suggest a 1/2″ front strut spacer to make things level.)
