where do you guys find the front and rear strut tower braces for the wagons at any help would be appriceated. and what is the best suspension upgrades to do on my car. 91L 5 spd 160,000 miles

Welcome to the board.

It took me a while to use the search feature.

Give it a try.

Dont know where tn is, let alone east tn

However, it is likely that a rear strut brace would be more effective than the front one.

thanks i have used the search feature but still cant find anything on here maybe i am not looking in the right places. But from what i think i understand is (the first gen impreza ones or the second gen legacy ones will work?)

all impreza, 1st and 2nd gen legacy

thanks a bunch. i think this is best messege board i have visitied

Only C, F, J, and M share the same bolt pattern and spacing. D, E, G, H, and K fronts have the same bolt pattern but the orenitation is different, so no go. Rears have the same spacing but the bolt pattern is different.

best bang for bucks is a rear swaybar in a wagon. then closely a rear strut brace. though a set of lower HD springs all round make a heap of difference.

Considering the price of swaybars I'm going to have to disagree with that.

sorry to change the subject but i done got the brace and going to install it today. but i cant understand the compedium thing. i need new struts and had my eye on the kyb gr2 but i was wondering what all i will need to do this i am fairly car orientied and will be going to Nashville auto deisel college in october.

One has to think like scott inorder to understand the compendium. To make it short, GR2's will bolt right on to whatever you're using.

how much are swaybars over there?
i paid $200 Australian an end over here. whiteline goodies.

That's about what they go for here with the current conversion rate, and I'll stand by it that that's bad bang for buck.

you kidding? when a new turbo costs $1000.
but it does depend on what you do with your vehicle.. mines setup for mountain runs is , plus the track a little bit.

what can i do to make the compendium more easy to understand? It makes perfect sense to me, although one would hope it would since its mine.

I'm quite serious. Compare that price to a set of half way decent tires, about twice the price here for four tires vs one swaybar. Which would help in more places than the sway bars would: accel, braking, turning.

crap tires and a huge rear bar sound like a lot of fun.

in australia AUST$400 wont buy any new tyre that i would put on. a full set of Toyo T1R's or similar Bridgestones, we are looking at $250 a corner. = $1000... swaybar $200.. sold x 2, plus both braces and lower front brace! you must get tyres pretty cheap.. though your fuel is as well, bastards!

you are not wrong.. bald tyres and big rear swaybar, and a dccd centre locked at 35:65 rear, makes for some great corner fun.
then just add some water..

Better to just install a rwd center diff, I would think.
