New to the club...few questions

Post by rightandtight »

Just bought an original owner '93 SS 5mt, silver. Excited, to say the least, for track days and rallycross.

Does anyone know the part number for a whiteline adjustable front swaybar, is it the same for Impreza?? I have the rear (BSR17Z), but not sure about the front.

Also, will front and rear end links from a WRX or RS (new or old) fit the legacy turbo?

Has anyone combined Koni Yellows with 1st gen. RS springs? Will WRX or RS top mounts work?

Thanks for any input,

Willie

I don't believe they make a front adjustable for any of the legacies.

Check out whiteline's site and see if they have an application.

If you have the newer style rear end links, then yes the RS & WRX stuff will work in the rear. The front's are different on the WRX, but the front GC style links will work.

The compendium sticky should answer some of those questions.

I have gc gN topmounts, they bolt in. I have 2.5rs springs, they're a good match for the car. I will be swapping to koni's when my struts start to fade, but i got way too good a deal on new struts to make it worthwhile right away.

I believe you need to get a BC/BF GC/GF turbo front bar, as they're different from the na bar.

thanks for all of your input. i'm going with the following (with part #'s in case anyone else is looking):

2000 RS struts with Koni Inserts
Front: #8610-1351 Sport
Rear: 8610-1352 Sport

RS springs

Whiteline bars
Front 22mm: BSF18X
Rear 18-20-22 adjustable bar: BSR19XZ

*there are a couple other options for the swaybars. these bars are the biggest they offer without going to full race bars that they do not recommend for street use.

You might consider going with the 20mm front bar (BSF18) so that your rear bar can be adjusted to "overpower" the front bar. That might give you more oversteer / understeer adjustment range.
