    Ordering coilovers for "97 L Wagon-BK

    I'm getting close to ordering coilovers for my 1997 Legacy L wagon (BK chassis) and I don't want to screw it up.
    They will build anything I want but they want me to tell them what to build for my car.

    I think what is needed is a GC Impreza (correct front camber plate alignment) kit but with GD rear top hats.

    My research shows that the brake line attachments are the same between the BK and the GC chassis so brake lines
    shouldn't have to be modded.

    Their GC and GD kits both have 7/5 f/r spring rates and my car weighs about the same as a GC. I should weigh less eventually and I'm leaning much more towards handling rather than comfort.

    Do I have anything wrong or have I forgotten anything? What do think about the spring rates? Thanks for your advice!
