    Starting a thread to organize all the suspension-related swap questions. Most of the information is in the Chassis and Suspension forum but it would be nice to have swap-specific information organized here.

    Re: Suspension Swap Questions

    Brand new to the forum so still learning a lot.

    Would I be able to put wrx suspension on my 95 legacy outback?

    Im wanting to lower it just a tad, mostly stiffen up the suspension for better cornering though.

    Is a suspension swap the way to go or is there something better? A friend said something about a cup kit so i could lower it in summer and raise it back up in winter for snow driving but it'll still drive smoother than coil overs?

    Re: Suspension Swap Questions

    go with the wrx suspension, straight bolt up to your legacy and really nice upgrade for the cheap price..

    i have 04 wrx kyb gr2 with bugeye prodrive lowering springs and its perfect for front and rear drop, right to the tip of the tires
