Suspension ?? and help needed

OK, I have been looking around and haven't found what I'm after.

Here's what I want to do. I want to lower my '92 Legacy Turbo wagon approx 1 1/2" in the front and 1 1/8-1 1/4" in the rear. I am also looking at adding larger diameter bars and running 205/50R15 tires. I want a firm suspension that will still provide a comfortable ride. Basically, I want the cornering to improve.

So the question is where do I find these parts and what is recommended? Strut tops? Springs/struts? Swaybars? The tires and wheels are already covered.

I have noticed when surfing around that applications are not for the wagon. Where do I find a set up for the wagon.

Yes, I am starting to build a stealth wagon. I love the thought of keeping up with and outhandling most of the street racers in a wagon.

Thanks, Ken

I just have GR-2's and Falkens on my N/A wagon and no ricer 's beaten me yet around corners. Just takes proper set up of the car to balance it before turn in (heavy braking and a smooth transition to gas and you can practically pivot it on its nose). Left-foot braking and using the hand brake also help when necessary.

I have that part down pretty well. I still like the idea of better handling. I have heard alot of reference to the GR-2's. I will probably go with Zeiks on mine. What are the prices like for them?

Sounds similar to what one of my legacy has.

Will be running 215 45 16 on slipstreams (13 pounds)
AGX for Impreza with Whiteline controls for the legacy. 93+ Impreza strut tops STI type with acompanying spring seats and rubber cushion.

The AGX impreza struts will "raise" the front of the car relative to normal, giving you the increase drop in the rear you speak of. The control springs drop a little less than you specify but they are VERY nice and worth the money.
