06 legacy gt sedan suspension in my 93 legacy wgn?

Post by brodie.gordon »

just wondering if some 2006 legacy suspension would work in my 93 legacy wagon? could i use my perches if the springs are different? i am running factory suspension and was told that i need to replace it.

thanks,
brodie

Starting in 2000, the Legacy uses a multilink rear suspension. The Impreza is likely going to this setup in its next big revision as well.

Yup, the descriptions I've seen for that are "a shortened wheelbase version of the new Legacy chassis".

That is exactly what the original Impreza chassis was...
