KYB AGX fitment on a 1992 SS fitment

Post by turboboxer92 »

I want to run an aftermarket kyb agx shock on my 92 sedan. Do i buy the shock that fits the early imprezas and will that work with my stock spring? The reason i ask is because i cant afford and yet to even understand waht fits on out cars i read that you need to get the top spring hat for the early imprezas for the front to fit the springs but im not sure exactly what will work. please help i have been reading the suspension threads for hours. I want better grip without going into backbreaking ride quality. will aftermarket early impreza springs fit the agx's? Someone shine some light?

-If you want grip, sway bars and new bushings would be a great start. Stiffen up that front end.
-Sorry I cant answer your main question. That suspension thread confuses me too. I'm on RS springs right now. Lowered the car a little and didn't sacrifice ride quality. I want to go lower, without going with coil-overs but I to, don't want a back breaking ride.

-There's plenty of info around here if you can find it. I take it, quite a few parts off of newer Subaru's up to 04 will almost work on our cars. Just got to do the research and find what works best and what cars to get the parts off of. Whiteline sells almost anything suspension. Sorry I'm not very helpful, but there is a lot of good people here that are and the more you dig, the more you will find great info.

Check out the "sticky" near the top of each topic of the forum. Inside the suspension sticky is one that contains all the known struts thar fit our cars, along with springs, top hat info and swaybars.

Also in the sticky is "Jamal's blanket suspension recommendations"

Good luck and happy reading :)

The agx struts for the GC (93-01) impreza bolt right in.

Springs for an early impreza require using the impreza metal upper spring perch in the front. rears fit fine.
