SG front struts in SF?

Post by thunder039 » Mon Apr 08, 2013 6:44 pm

hi guys got given a set of good condition front struts from a SG forester today. i don't need them in my SG so was thinking i could put them in my SF (witch needs them very soon) my only question is whether they fit or not.

i know the rear struts from the SG fit in the SF but wasn't sure about the fronts...

anyone know?

Yep they will fit. Just use your SF top hats and springs. You could probably use the springs and tops hats from the SG struts(if they came with them) too but it's your choice.

Yes it will fit - I am pretty sure the hats are the same but not 100% sure otherwise like what Taza said replace the hats.

Hats are the same, made some lift blocks and they fit both SF and SG up front ;)
