Coilovers on '93 SS

Post by '//icked »

Hi,
I'm sure this particular question has been brought up before but I cannot find a thread related specifically to a '93 SS Sedan with coilovers. From the research I have done it looks like coilovers for '93-'01 Imprezas will bolt right on with no mods? Is this correct or will there need to be some small changes to make this work? Any other coilovers to consider for a '93 SS Sedan, even if it means some small modifications (different top hats, etc)? I need to figure this out ASAP (as my car is in the shop waiting on an answer) so thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Yeah the 93-01 Impreza coilovers should bolt up to your 93 SS.

93-01 GC suspension is a direct fit for 90-94 legacys.

So I just found some 02-07 WRX Tein Flex Coilovers for sale cheap locally. What would I need to do to make these work with my Legacy?

Also just an FYI, I HAVE put some effort into researching this topic. However, most of the stuff I have found (in the Suspension Sticky) dealing with putting on 02-07 WRX suspension components on these Legacy's is related to the spring and struts from WRX's... but I've found very little discussing '02-'07 WRX coilovers on a '93 SS. So any help or information you can provide would be awesome! Just wanted you to know I'm not lazy and have actually tried searching this stuff :-p

Thanks again.

you need rear top mounts for a GC, and the front camber plates will be at an angle (although this is a good thing), and you won't be able to get as much quite as much negative camber.
