Hey, I know that the 2001 Legacy has a multilink rear. And I was wondering if anyone knows if WRX GH Coilovers (2008-2013) would fit my 2001 legacy gt?
Thanks.

why would you want to run suspension not designed for your vehicle when there are plenty of BE/BH specific coilovers to be had? I doubt they will fit without some parts swapping.

There are 08-13 gh racelands for $400. Which would be a lot cheaper than BC coilovers. That's all

well even if the knuckle on the front will fit in the front the top hats would need to be changed for sure, top hats on the rear as well. then you may find them to be a bit too short if you can find the right top hats to fit with the springs and upper perches. Then you may find that 450f/250r spring rates are probably not that great for your car. It all can be done just dont plan on it costing 400 bucks and handling like a good set of coils that is designed for your car.

Why dont you get some KYB GR2 struts and some sleeve coil overs and build some? I'm about to do the same thing with my BD.

are you just using strut housings and koni inserts or cutting bottom perch of and then sleeving after that?
