Seeking some advice

I need new suspension all the way around. I want to do this without spending a huge sum so that rules out OEM stuff. I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas on what I can get that's fair and good quality. Thanks in advance.

take-offs can be had with low miles for little $.
Would appreciate a little more info on what specifically you have in mind.

All I want to do really is get my suspension in order for as little as possible. All of my struts are in need of replacement and I'm not about to go and buy Subaru replacements. Matt had mentioned about getting a WRX setup to allow for more future mods. I'm ok with that as long as it doesn't wind up costing much more than an aftermarket replacement part. I need to get this done soon too if that helps. I'm going to go looking around online but I don't want to spend hours if there's someone that already knows a good supplier.

What kind of performance are you looking for? Just something that can hang around corners without major body roll? I'd suggest a set of wrx struts w/ some decent springs. I'd go for Eibach springs but thats because I can get them for super cheap. and I'd also suggest some decent swaybars, not take-offs of other subarus, I'm getting a 22mm Whiteline up front and a 20-24mm Whiteline in the rear. it will effectively reduce the amount of body roll.

yeah go on nasioc and find some WRX takeoffs for cheap, I found a used set for like 100 a year ago.

Alrgihty, I'm getting ready to install some WRX strut assemblies. Could someone out there save me some more digging and point me to some references on what I should expect to need. Thx

Hmm, not sure if the 93-94's are different, but the rear top perches wont bolt to your strut mount. So you need to either use the stock ones or buy some Group N mounts. If you use the stock ones You wont be able to use the wrx springs. for the rear. The wrx fronts should bolt right up ~~ You might need some washers when bolting the strut to the top mounts, not sure exactly about the washers though.
And if you are interested in a GroundControl lowering kit, pm me I can get you a super deal.
