Drop Style to C Style Conversion
I am looking to do a drop style end link to c style link conversion on my Touring Wagon and was just checking to make sure I didn't miss anything. The endlinks ripped out of the lateral link on the stock drop style so I can't have a bar untill I replace it.
Here's what I got to go on am I missing anything?
93 JDM WRX lateral links and trailing arms
All new bolts and nuts for the lateral links and trailing arms
04+ Impreza beefier rear sway bar mounts
Whiteline 22mm rear swaybar
Group A aluminum C Style Endlinks( like kartboy whiteline etc)

Re: Drop Style to C Style Conversion
You really only should have to replace the lateral links and not the trailing arms.

Re: Drop Style to C Style Conversion
Yea all I did was lateral links, endlinks, bushings, and bar.
Re: Drop Style to C Style Conversion
I got the whole set of 4 lateral links and 2 trailing arms for $50 so I am going to replace them all since the bushings in the wrx pieces are like new and the ones on the car are all cracked and the arms are rusty.

Re: Drop Style to C Style Conversion
I got the bar mounts today, they are off a 04-07 WRX. They really beefed up the design, I am sure the stock ones would have been fine but I figured I might as well get them.

Endlinks I got are made by Group A, local company for me that went out of business a few months ago and another local Subaru parts place was blowing out what was left of the inventory

Re: Drop Style to C Style Conversion
Group A went out of business? That sucks I really liked the quality of parts they had. Expensive but it was a cool company.

Re: Drop Style to C Style Conversion
The WRX mounts are about quarter inch shorter than the stock legacy ones.

Re: Drop Style to C Style Conversion
when you did this conversion, did you use the 93 impreza trailing arm bracket? or would you be able to reuse the bracket on the car?Josh222 wrote:I am looking to do a drop style end link to c style link conversion on my Touring Wagon and was just checking to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Re: Drop Style to C Style Conversion
Trailing arms are the same and don't need to be replaced.
