Sedan Girth
06/03/2009 5:30 AMRyan and Drake @ Area1320 put the front sedan axles, control arms and a whiteline 27mm sway bar went on along with new ball joints. Why do this you may ask? I gained 12mm worth of track and can achieve the same amount of camber up front as the sedan. No one makes wagon specific coilovers anymore and it results in a loss of camber adjustment do to the smaller track. The car is in dire need of an alignment as you can see the ridiculous amount of camber in the pictures. I expect having a wider front track than the rear will eliminate any understeer I was experiencing.

Came across your blog… Very nice!
I just got a blue 2005 WRX wagon that the previous owner had started doing the sedan conversion. It has a STI hood scoop and the sedan fenders in the front giving the flared look.
What part # control arms from which sedan model worked without modification? And what axles ? (some people say the wagon axles will still work though…)
Was there anything else that needed to be changed out?
What was the approximate cost?
Did you do anything to the rear of the wagon or just left it stock?
What other suspension components are you using to achieve the nice ride height?
Thanks for the info! Nice job with your car!
Any sedan front control arm from 02-07 wrx/sti will work. Axles I had ordered through Area1320. You need to pickup the correct one for your trans. Some are female and some are male. You may need to replace the ball joints while your in there. Getting the old ones out can be a bitch. The rear is stock width. I am running on BC Racing Coilovers.
