Wagon Suspension Questions & Recommendations

Post by soobrdad02 »

Hi everyone! I drive a bone-stock n/a, 4EAT 1991 Legacy wagon and I want (NEED!) To do something to this car! I figured that, since it's not a Turbo and I'm not going to be sliding sideways through the forest in this thing that the best place to start would be the suspension. Problem is that, being a noob (and a wagon-driver) and all, I don't know where to start. I'm looking for everyone's recommendations/opinions on replacing/upgrading/acquiring things like shocks, struts, springs, strut tower bars(front and rear), swaybars, bushings, pretty much everything that I can to get a better ride out of my baby. I'm not looking to scrape speedbumps, but I'd DEFINITELY be okay with her sitting lower. I definitely do some "spirited" driving and I'm just looking to get better handling out of my DD. Thanks!

Go read all the threads in the sticky at the top of the suspension forum and you'll get a pretty good idea of what's what. It'll make your head spin with all the info, but it's fairly comprehensive.
