Impreza suspension on BD GT

[striker]

Would that work?

If so which years of the impreza/sti would fit?

You can put GD impreza stuff in there. I'm not sure exactly what you have to do, but I believe it's what subiesport's legacy project did.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Struts/Springs, yes (with the right tophats).

Swaybars, no.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Impreza ones.

[sheepdog]

you sure mark? I thought you had to use legacy tophats

[Wiscon_Mark]

Fairly sure. I know people use Impreza tophats on Legacys. Usually the problem is matching the spring to its retainer.

[gil_ong81]

you need impreza tophats.

when i changed the springs on my BD to H&R, we found out that they didn't make any springs for the lgeacy, but they did for the impreza. i ended up using tophats for the 2.5RS (which is the same as any other impreza sedan).

thanks guys... so i guess i can go ahead and check out those agx's

AGX's were what i had on my BD. best thing i did to the car, with the OB 18mm RSB a close second. in conjuction, they were great.

[that one legacy]

i had to use '04 STi top hats to swap '04 STi springs and struts onto my '95 L legacy.

does anyone know if the rear end links are universal between subarus?

[gil_ong81]

they're the same for the rears, except for the (new) LGT, FXT, and STi, i think. any of the C-shaped ones will do, and you can't go wrong with ones made for the WRX.

for the front, see this post i made in march 06.

from what i understand, we need the ones that are shaped like a "dog bone", like these perrin ones from boxer4racing, $139.

the ones like these AVOs from rallitek won't fit, and neither will the hotchkis ones.

by the way... is there a real term for tophats?

[gil_ong81]

i believe they're called (strut) top mounts.

[gil_ong81]

looks about right to me. someone else should back confirm.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Nope, those are only the fronts.

[gil_ong81]

yes. those are the fronts. make sure you get the accompanying rears. 2 each; one for each side of the car.

[striker]

Would the 02-03 wrx suspension fit on the legacy as well?

If so... I'm guessing you would need 02-03 wrx tophats too?
