The OD measurements for my rear springs are 85mm at top and 95mm at bottom. My springs don't fit into either of the two categories listed on the Whiteline catalog. Any suggestions?

what were the choices again? You should get the newer year springs, 91-93.

This is the Whiteline chart



(Sedan, 1990-1994) 70198 70368 $240 (2)
(Wagon, 1990-1994) 70198 70369 $240 (3)
(Sedan RS Turbo, 1992-1994) 70198 70369 $240 (3)
(Wagon RS Turbo, 1992-1994) 70198 70369 $240 (3)

LEGEND
(2) not always stocked. Check with PDM for availability
(3) Check top and bottom ID of original spring. If top = 125mm & bottom = 141mm use 70369. If top = 95mm & bottom = 138mm use 70368

what year/model is your legacy?

'93 "L", AWD, NA, AT.

sedan or wagon?

more then likely you'll need 70369 since you don't have that big of a difference between the top and bottom of the springs. It's pretty obvious

here's pics of my tapered springs

Whoops. It's a sedan.

Hoo boy! It's a good thing I'm not an engineer! I read your post and looked at your pics, Josh, and I realized I was missing something. Then it dawns on me -- I measured the outside diameter of the coil of the spring not the inner diameter of whole coiled spring! Duuuhhhhh! And the measurement of the coil is not 95 mm but 9.5 mm . . . just a S-L-I-G-H-T difference!

Mine is the 125/141 mm spring. You're right, Josh.

Must be a lack of sleep and fuzzy thinking. On the way home today, I dozed off while waiting for the left green arrow. There was a truck in front of me. Don't know what I was thinking or dreaming about but I stomped on the accelerator (still had the red light). My sleepy eyes focused on the rear bumper that was getting closer and closer. I took my foot off the accelerator and hit the brake hard (at least I tried to do that) but instead hit the brake and gas at the same time . . . and the gas was winning. Still not sure how I did it but I managed to jerk the car to a halt a few inches before contact. :Whew: It's a good thing my car has sluggish pick up right now; otherwise I'd have a very crumpled front end.
