those are the worst coilovers in existence.

a grand will get you STs.

ideally you want something meant for a GC impreza.

I wouldn't touch any coilovers that are less than ~$7-800 new, if you wanna go below that get springs/struts.

If you want cheap then just check the Nasioc classifieds, I got my JIC's for $200, but that was a steal.

What web sites do you reccomend GC coils from? Will these bolt right up?

Anything made for 93-01 GC Chassic Impreza will bolt right up. I have Tein Type HT which I paid $1,500 for used but in like new condition. Sounds like you're not looking to spend much money on coilovers so I would suggest not going with coilovers. Get a set of lowering springs like some whiteline springs and AGX struts. Save you a bunch of money.

Agreed. The only real advantage of coilovers for street use is that you can get the ride height just right. You'll get much better quality suspension for your money if you get springs/struts.
