91 legacy rear struts/springs

Post by omegax »

I recently put new wrx stock rims/tires on the back... they just clear but only leave about an inch of clearance. I know on the original tires the rear was quite saggy but im not sure if that is how it is to beguin with or my supension in the rear is shot. Regardless can anyone recommend a good but not too expensive replacement. And whether I have to replace just the struts or both springs and struts. They do no have to be a performance replacement just simply a good brand.

When I replaced my rear struts with GR-2s the sagging back came up a little and has stayed up.

Is there a certain size spring i could buy that would raise it an inch or so.. i see they go by compression per sq in. anyone know what the stock spring is? In theory if i get a higher compresion spring it would raise the car?
