95-99 legacy sway bars should fit in the rear, well atleast that's what I had found when serching
I had picked up a rallitek rsb for my 93 l. Price was great for a adjstable bar with aluminum endlinks and polyurthan bushings.
I am also running kyb gr2 with h&r lowering springs which gives for a nice sporty ride that's not overly stiff. I hopento have the rsb on within the next few weeks Along with my adjstable latteral links
Legacy777 i was doing some research and came upon your web site and i was looking at the KYB struts you used and there the AGX Adjustable ones how come you chose those instead of the Gr-2 struts??? are they better? also i noticed you put blue springs on what are they??? thanks:D

The AGX struts are more or less the same as the GR2's, but adjustable. You can make the AGX's have stiffer damping if you so desire. I ran the GR2's for a while, and then when I did my AWD & 5spd conversion I swapped in the AGX's. It's your choice really. The GR2's work just fine.
The blue springs are Whiteline control springs.
Check out Whiteline's website & d/l their catalog to see what parts they have for our cars.
Awesome thanks:D are the whiteline springs a big improvement??? did they lower your car as well if so how much?? i still have the stock rims: ( but idk how low i can go without hitting if it comes to that all just get some wheels its a good excuse any way ; )

From the info on my website, they lowered the car about 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear. When I did my AWD & 5spd conversion and went with the AGX struts it changed the ride height slightly since the rear struts utilize a different mount point. But overall I'm happy with the ride height.
The ride with the AGX's is a little harsh. I was happier with the GR2 struts and whiteline springs for a daily driver.
I found the control springs on this site http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/subaru_corner.html but they only sell the front ones and i cant find the rear ones= ( dose any one know were they still sell the rear ones?? Thanks

They'll likely need to be orderd from whiteline. Any whiteline reseller should be able to order them. When I got mine and had to wait a while. Ordered mine from www.boxer4racing.com
Can I use the 02 WRX whiteline springs as a direct replacement for the springs on my 92 legacy??? I read somewhere that they were compatible but i want to confirm it Thanks
