Lateral links - anyone have any idea if these will fit?

[Kraziken]

I was picking up a small part at the dealer and picked up a Subaru performance catalog.

Any idea if these will fit?

I'm not sure that they would fit, being for a wrx sedan they are most likely too long.

However, all is not lost! Boxer4Racing sells the same part in a 93-99 Impreza/Forester/Legacy fitment, and it's (slightly) cheaper.

Interesting, the picture of the parts look very similar. I wonder if they are the same part, but in either case, it confrims that there is a part that fits.

Thanks for the heads up!

I did a little digging through the parts lists, and came up with this:

Rear Lateral Links:

95-99 Legacy

Front: R/L 20250AA002
Rear: R 20255AA300
L 20255AA310

93-96 Impreza

Front: R/L 20250AA002
Rear: R 20255AA300
L 20255AA310

97-01 Impreza

Front: R/L 20250AC100
Rear: R 20255AA300
L 20255AA310

2002 Impreza Wagon

Front: R/L 20250AC100
Rear: R 20255AA320
L 20255AA330

2002 Impreza Sedan

Front: R/L 20250FE000
Rear: R 20250FE040
L 20250FE050
As you can see, the 95-99 Legacy uses the same links as the 93-99 Impreza (with rear sway bar), while the 2002 Impreza Wagon uses the same front lateral links as the 97-01 Impreza.

The rear lateral link part numbers for the 2002 Wagon indicate that they are most likely the same as the 97-01 Impreza, except with the newer bushings used on the GD.

The 2002 Impreza Sedan has different part numbers for both front and rear links, though it shares the same bushings as the 2002 Wagon, which makes sense as they do have a wider track, but share the same rear crossmember between the wagon and sedan.

I'll double check when my wife comes back with the RS, but I believe the change in the 97-01 Impreza was to move from a tubular front link to a pressed steel one.
