95 legacy rear strut top hat + gc impreza strut/spring? Work

[AWD_PWNZ]

ive tried to search and no luck....


As title says.. I have a 95-99 legacy, was wondering if the rear top hat would work with my 93-01 impreza suspension I have. Anyways, I know the fronts would bolt up. Thanks in advanced!

Did you look in the stickies in the Chassis & Suspension section, under "threads of note?"

I did.. Doesn't say anything about the rears.

you can use impreza suspension. but depending on what springs your run will determine what top hats you need to run. if you deside to run 93-01 springs you need to use 93-01 impreza front perchs w/ impreza or legacy mounts, rears you need to use your legacy mounts since 93-01 used a smaller bolt pattern mount, but legacy mounts will fit 93-01 rear springs (i can confirm because im using 93-01 rear springs with legacy mounts and struts) oem 93-01 springs raise the front and lower the rear, sounds weird but its true, since 93-01 front perchs are a little taller and have the same length spring as the legacy, now the rear have shorter springs but have a tall perch, when the legacy have a short perch. now ive never done a wrx suspension upgrade on a legacy so someone else will have to chime in. now the only thing about using impreza struts is the brake lines mounts are different

I tried searching on this site using common terms like "rear gc springs struts" but the search sucks! So what I do is go to
google.com, click on advanced search, type in the terms and put in: https://sl-i.net/FORUM/ for the "search within a site or domain"

Good luck
