This is a 2002 - I'm pretty sure these are the original struts because I basically get seasick driving it. :-p
In other news, Subaru is really trying to convince me to give them my car in exchange for a big deal on a new car. Trying to look at new WRX critically but I'm having trouble connecting the dots.
