I have a set of suspension from my friends wrx sedan and I was wondering if it would work on my legacy wagon ? I've asked the same question on a few forums and a couple ppl said that it would work but I may have some booty sag * yea I said booty sag :smt005 * from the weight difference, if that's true would anyone know how much sag it'll have ?

It's not really the weight difference, just the weak spring rate. Yeah, it'll work. Get saggy butt spacers to help fix the problem

What Legacy wagon? Year matters, as 04 WRX stuff will not work on anything MY2000 or above on a Legacy.
GD stuff is a direct swap to BD/BK/BG though (provided it's struts, springs, & tophats/spring perches).
I'd suggest reading this: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=14185 (http://www.sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=14185)

Yours is a 96, so you can use 02-05 WRX stuff (some claim 06-07 works too, but haven't seen that verified).
Keep in mind, with the 04-05 WRX, they changed the spring design to a tapered spring, so you need to have the matching strut tops. 02-03 you can swap springs around and such with no problems. Either way, it's easier to find a complete assembly and drop it in.
