Hmm I wonder how thick there washer will be. The current impreza washer is to thick for use with the konis and it raises the car. I have pics of the 3rd set I just took off the car the bearing casing has lots of wear marks on it. I also noticed the bearing casing on the oem top hat is made of thick rubber not metal. So maybe the rubber seal has some flex in it that the metal casing does not. In the pic below you can see the bottom of the top hat I just took off. you can see the wear on the bearing casing it self showing that the conical washer of the oem top hat below is digging into it. not good. below that is the stock wrx conical washer you can clearly see that the flat spot is only the size of the inner part of the bearing where the oem is much larger and does not taper.
