TS/WRX wagon units(same part #) are as adjustable as the sedan's or most any other McPherson, there's just different geometry built into the mounting plates at the bottom of the front struts as the sedans have a wider front track width.
So the answer is, rather than Miata: don't bother finding new WRX wagon struts if the current TS units are in good shape, because TS struts are WRX wagon struts.
And my semi-irrelevant tip for the day: there's useful extra front camber to be gained by using Impreza wagon struts on a sedan... stash that tip in your brains for another day, y'alls.

I'll add to the mass confusion.
Woody, what are you looking to get for the winter wheels package? I would like to get a winter package for my 2009 WRX. My fiancee doesn't believe in winter tires, but if the price is right, maybe I can convince her that it's a good idea.

Ya'll put different tires on when it gets cold?

I don't think 16's will clear the brakes on a 2009 WRX.

Surprisingly, they fit fine. Nevermind though, as I think I'm trading my car on something non-Subaru in before the winter. Bad day at the dealer today.They don't build them like they used to, that's for sure.

SVREX, I remember you saying you had some interesting bits, but those may have been for the previous generation (she used to have a '98).
Thanks!
Sorry I'm late to the party.
I used to have more, but right now all I have is a decent pair of KYB GR-2's (235065) with springs (rate unknown) and top mounts. I'll take $50 plus shipping.
PM me if interested.

Sorry, Osterkraut, been figuring out my plan. I do want those springs. I'll shoot you my info soon. Shipping can be whatever is easiest for you.

wife's Forester will need new shoes this year.I still have them. They are stock WRX size, which I think is 205/55-16. I'll take a look to confirm.
Wheels are this style, but this is a different set. I don't have a photo of the actual wheels right now.
