Post by MY92 »

Does anyone know how stiff the GC8 chassis is compared to the Legacy?

Hey Beavis!!! He said "stiffness." Huh huh huh

My 90 legacy is fifteen years old so it is in it's puberty stage...It gets stiff all the time and sometimes has nocturnal emmisions about WRX's and STi's.

IIRC the GD is 20% stiffer than the GC.

I'd imagine almost no stiffness increase between the BC and the GC though. The two platforms are nearly identical. Identical to the point that the entire engine and drivetrain is interchangeable between a 1990 Sedan and a 1993 Impreza sedan. Everything but the driveshaft I mean.

i would think the gc is marginally stiffer just because it's shorter.
