    2DL, First off, I'd go for the Ground Control brand name if you can.

    2nd, I'd go with suspension meant for the GC Impreza. Cause, if I remember correctly, BC Legacys have been known to run around with Ver5 suspension. I've also seen them with JDM GC Impreza carbon fiber strut tower braces and aluminum control arms....sick stuff.

    Anyway, I wouldn't trust your suspension with a no-namer.

    I'm none too sure about WRX suspension fitment on a BC. Your BC doesn't weigh close to the portly numbers of the GD.

    So I'd say keep searching for barely used or never used Ground Control sleeve kit.

    Add-on? Koni inserts in your OEM strut housings. I've seen that combo on some boards. Koni inserts in OEM strut housings and Ground Control coil-over sleeve kit.

    Anyone else??

    Yes, they will work. You will have to get the appropriate front spring perches.

    i encourage you not to skimp on suspension. Duct tape holding your cone air
    filter is one thing, but having a suspension component fail is pure badness.
    Who knows what was involved in designing those things.

    No preload is a dangerous possibility when you lower with those. Ground
    Control stuff is just meant for corner weighting and giving more spring
    rate options.

    People have reported good things about wrx suspension on a bc, although
    assuming front/rear preload ratio is the same (wow, that sounds super
    techy) the wrx is less sprung in the rear.

    I have gc 2.5rs front springs at all 4 corners, and it's an excellent match.
    Slightly lowered. I have pics running around all over the net.

    subaru has more R&D money than the aftermarket.
