Suspension question

Post by BMWGeoff »

I'm kinda new to the Subaru stuff... just looking to clarify my situation after reading through the compendium

90 AWD Sedan

Got:
04+ Prodrive P1 WRX Springs

Think I need:
90-91 Rear Top Hats
04 WRX Front Top Hats

Not Sure About:
Will KYB AGX for 02 WRX work?

Anything else I'm missing?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I've been meaning to make a thread about this for awhile.

You can only use 90-91 rear tophats with those springs. The 04 ones don't fit into the car.

90-91 struts will work. The car will be evenly lowered like 2"

any WRX struts will work, but you don't really want to use them. They ruin the alignment (unless they're from a wagon). They'll lower the car more like 1"

04+ wrx struts will probably clunk in the tophats.

My suggestion:

sell the springs, get springs and struts specifically for our cars or a 93-01 impreza.

ok thanks... I'll try this setup first since I can get everything used... if it doesn't work out, I'll go with a 93-01 setup

i used some of GC'c genaric aluminum disc they use for upper mounts in the rear of my legacy damn solid but you need 2.5'' dia springs though. GC just figured out what konis work really well on the rear of a wrx i think i am going to pick some up soon
