Then remove the top 19mm nut with a socket wrench. There is a fat washer there, so don't lose it!

Then remove the bottom nut with an open end wrench, since the socket won't fit there. It is pretty hard to get that one loose, so use something like a pipe and put it over the wrench to make it longer and easier to turn.

Pull out the bolts. They are kind of hard to get out, but move the strut around a bit and they will come out.

Take out the strut. It might be pretty hard, so you will need to press down on the whole assembly.

Take the left rear STi Version 5 assembly. You can tell that it is right one by looking at the sticker on the bottom of the strut. LH means left. Put it in place.

You are almost done. Proceed to the right side and repeat the process. After you are done, you can put the rear seat back, put the wheel back on and lower the car down.

After you are done with all 4 shocks/springs, you will have to bleed the brakes and realign the car. The front should be -0.75 degree camber and 1/16" - 3/32" toe out. The rear should be within the stock specifictions. After that you can safely go and test drive your car. You'll love it, I am sure!
