Ground Control on 91 t-leg?

Post by Stanky Leg »

So I am thinking about putting a Ground Control kit on my 1991 Turbo Legacy. I am under the belief that 02-03 WRX struts fit and have found a corresponding kit. My question is whether or not 02-03 WRX struts fit my car, and if so, are modifications needed? Is my assumption that if 02-03 WRX struts fit then the kit for these years will work with my car? Any help would be great, thanks.

According to that link, the struts will work. Just as you said, get the kit that goes with the struts. You will, however, need to convert to 92-94 rear top hats for the GC kit to work. I have the kit on my car, meant for the Impreza, and I love it.

So you should always get the GC kit that matches the struts rather than the car?

I would get the ones that go with your car as they're made for the weight of that car.

this is what i found its made for my car but they still ask for a spring rate and i was wondering what would be a better strut they list tokico, koni, bilstein, and kyb.

i had bilstein on my old vw gti and it handled like a dream but not to sure if it would be the same with the awd??

heres the link:
