Subaru Impreza Rear Springs: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

Genuinely worth knowing: the rear spring and shock are commonly sold together as a complete assembly on Subaru's platform, not always as separate parts.

A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly

A rear spring often sags gradually for months without an obvious symptom beyond a slightly lower ride height, then fails suddenly at the coil's end with an audible clunk — worth bearing in mind if you notice one rear corner sitting lower than the other.

Genuinely worth knowing: the rear spring and shock are commonly sold together as a complete strut assembly on this model rather than always as separate parts — check whether a listing is for the complete assembly or the spring alone before ordering.
Before you buy: turbo vs naturally aspirated, transmission type, and generation all affect fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

OEM Part Numbers

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: Subaru's own parts catalogue can list separate rear spring references for automatic and manual transmission versions of the same engine, in addition to the turbo/non-turbo split.
Naturally aspirated, standard rateGenuinely a different spring from the turbo version below — confirm engine and transmission before ordering
Turbo, where fittedA genuinely different, typically stiffer spring from the naturally aspirated version

Always replace rear springs in pairs — a single new spring paired with an old, sagged one on the other side creates an uneven ride height and handling bias.

What It Does

The rear coil spring supports the weight of the car's rear end and absorbs the initial impact of a bump, working alongside the shock absorber rather than replacing its function. A sagged or broken spring lowers ride height, can affect headlight aim, and in severe cases is an MOT failure item.
