PLEASE Help!!

Post by WastingLight »

ok guys im calling out to you in my time of need. last night my passenger side rear strut completely blow out so no i NEED to put my new ones in. i already have stock replacement KYB GR2 struts and would like to put a stiffer spring on. reading the other thread here i came to the conclusion that i can use 02-03 WRX springs with no modification, is this correct? also i think im going to change out the top mounts, if i go with a WRX spring which ones should i get? all help is greatly appreciated, and i have read the stickies but its a bit difficult to follow and i want to be absolutely sure before i buy the springs. thanks

I'm assuming you're talking about this quote:
THAWA wrote: If you have a 92-94 Legacy, you can use 02-03 Impreza springs as direct replacements. The 92-94 Legacies do not have tapered rear springs, and neither do the 02-03 Imprezas.
from this thread? http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=22419

You can either believe it, or choose not to ;) Info was written by THAWA in 2006, and to my knowlege no-one has called him out in that time saying his fitment guide is full of it. But I could be wrong.

only issues with fitment are top mounts if you have tapered springs.
all the GC rear setups are the same as BC/BJ Legacys only the top mounts changed from year to year
the GC springs will lower the car about 1" so will the GD springs
