WRX springs.

I know this has probably been covered but I searched and got sick of reading so here it is. Will WRX springs work on my 92 turbo? I know I have the non-tapered rear springs, so is there any issues?

I'm pretty much just looking for a yes or no here, anyone?

I seem to recall WRX front springs not fitting correctly when some friends of mine were trying to assemble a front strut for my car. I can't say for sure that they were doing everything right though.

One thing to consider is that the WRX is noticeably more nose-heavy than our cars; all published data (however reliable or unreliable it may be) seems to indicate that rear WRX springs are significantly softer than rear stock Legacy springs. So WRX rear springs may not be an upgrade.

A possibility might be to use WRX front springs on both the front and rear of a Legacy...

If it does work well, I'd be very interested in knowing it... I've got two sets of WRX springs in my garage going unused.

or what about front wrx in the rear and rear wrx in the front?

Why would you want to reduce your front spring rate so much?

yes they fit.
the stock wrx wagon spring rates are slightly lower than the legacy ss. but the sedan is a bit higher in the rear. a gc rs actually had higher spring rates than a wrx wagon. now that makes no sence.
but from my experience the wrx wagon suspension was set up horribally from the factory.

Because I wasn't really thinking when I said that, I was thinking front hard rear softer, then something else popped into my mind. And that jumped out.

I'm not going to put stock WRX springs on but I may have a line on some pretty cheap aftermarket WRX springs and just wanted to make sure they would fit. =)

how do the sti struts and springs compare to the agx's?? How do they compare in ride comfort and cornering?

kelley · Post by **kelley** » Wed Nov 26, 2003 11:37 pm

I will give you the short version. since I have typed the long version before.
I like the sti's better.

I just did a search for what you wrote earlier and guess what...I was the one that asked you about them last time. <Ryan opens his mouth and inserts his foot>

So...yeah, either I didn't read it, or I'm becoming senile. Sorry about the double question thing.

That's one heck of a deal. I'll call dibs. Will these lower the vehicle at all? I'm sure it wouldn't be much, but my car will be soooo much better with some new struts (and springs!).

Argggh! Stupid rich WRX guys... the price went too high. Oh well, what springs are available that have a minimal drop? I don't want to wait 8 months when I want to get them.

650.00 out of budget eh? still seems like a good buy, reach deeper in those pockets I know you'll find a C note in there

Brat4by4 · Post by **Brat4by4** » Mon Dec 01, 2003 5:29 pm

Ok, maybe I did get them...

I realized I was bidding in even increments. So I tried one more time and won them... whew.
