I want to upgrade my stock suspension to KYB GR-2 struts. Will these springs fit and if they will would it be a good upgrade. If not any suggestions would be appreciated. Very very small budget.

I would save and get a set of H&R or Tein springs to go with those struts

Will the gr-2 perform well with stock springs.

It'll perform pretty much like stock, on stock springs.

Probably. You'd most likely need WRX specific spring perches or something.

I don't know, WRX suspension conversions aren't my thing.

check the suspension faqs, or threads similar to this one.

>>wrx suspension. I got the struts in the mail, for wrx, that are going on my legacy. I'll measure everything up tonight and let you know how it fits. Suspension should be on by thursday.

crossing my fingers. :lol:

I know for a fact that the front struts will bolt on, lickety-split. 00-04 wrx and STi parts will fit the fronts. the rear is a different story, i will let you know

On nasioc, it said there was some trimming needed to be done on the rubber silencer thing that the spring fits into (up front) when running WRX springs on legacy struts. AFAIK, you can swap 02 and up WRX parts, but make sure you go wagon to wagon, sedan to sedan because of the change in rear spring rates. check www.nasioc.com (http://www.nasioc.com) and look in the legacy forum FAQ's.

So for 93-01 impreza strut assy. I don't need anything.
For 02 and up I only need Front Upper Spring Perches and a washer up top.
