HI,
I changing my worn struts. I want to lift my legacy a bit, so i am using Forester SF struts.
All for corners are KYB Excel-G (same as GR-2), using my Legacy springs and top hats. Legacy 1995 and Forester 99 top hats are the same front and rear,
In the front: Forester struts are 3 cm longer as legacy struts, measured from the lower spring seat.

in the rear the struts from the forester are 2 cm longer as the legacys, but do to the bolt asay, they are egual long.
this with a litle modding (welding) can be atached to the legacy fwd knuckle.

A comparision of alla four struts:

I could not find original front suspension bushing, so i bought used complete suspension arms from a 99 impreza. This do bold right away with no modification wath so ever.
i will post pictures after all is installed.
