You think that wouldn't cause that "saggy butt" stuff? I wouldn't think it would because it's a sedan.
I'm positive it would cause saggy butt ha ha. So I was planning on getting saggy butt spacers. GC8 ones will fit our cars.

would ones from this site: http://www.paranoidfabrications.com/sho ... -gc8-hdpe/ work? pretty cheap in my opinion.

I've just been asking because I think I've got a lock on a '93 with a blown engine, but lots of spare parts like new gr2's and impreza springs.

Yeah those would work. I was planning on installing the springs first and driving around for a week first to let them settle, before I bought spacers.

That's probably a good idea. Plus, if the car isn't sagging, I'll ask the guy what he's doing to stop the sagging. Should the spring rates be the same? Because I know the 2002 Impreza springs have uneven rates.

I ran '99 RS coils and AGXs on my '91 L sedan. The car had a saggy butt on the stock suspension, so the 1" drop only showed in the front. The car leveled nicely and rode and handled great.
