Coilover Question.

[striker]

I understand that you can have stock (02-04) WRX suspension on a Legacy as long as you have the WRX tophats.

I recently came by a really nice deal on K-Sport coilovers for the 02-04 WRX. Would the coilover setup fit on the Legacy with the stock WRX tophats as well?

I believe you have to use the stock Legacy tophats for the rear...
And swap the fronts - left-right.

You can bolt them right into your car, the WRX and Legacy bolt spacing is the same.

The fronts you can try swapping left-to-right to see if that makes the camber adjustment line up better, though IIRC with the regular setup you would gain caster as you dial in more -ve camber, which isn't a bad thing.

Bear in mind however that you will most likely have to max out the height adjustment of the front struts, as the legacy strut towers are taller than a WRX.

I have posted about this many times, if you look through my old posts you'll find more info and pics.
