I'm looking for some springs with the narrower diameter rear springs (99+ I believe). But the only ones I've been able to find are
these from Rallitek
I've done a bunch of research, but haven't found much of anything specific to the legacies.....

telling us what kind of car you have and reading the compendium and thread about 04+ impreza springs stickied at the top of this forum would probably help a lot.

it's completely irrelevant, but if you must know, I have a '92 loyale. It uses 78mm diameter rear springs. which is the same as newer legacies. I cannot use the 125/140mm impreza stuff, as it just won't fit between the tire and the inner fender. I've read the stickies, I've searched, but have come up completely empty handed on stuff specific to the 78/82mm springs of the newer legacy (except the ones from rallitek linked above, which I stumbled across completely on accident).

00+ Legacies have multi-link rear suspension, which is completely different than anything else so none of that stuff is compatible.
Then there are the other two sizes on the first gen stuff that's been mentioned.
Ground control makes 2.5" springs in whatever length and rate you want. You attach a threaded collar to the strut which has an adjustable lower perch. I'm not sure on what you would need to get the top perches to work though.

yep, currently running generic coilovers that are very similar to the Ground control stuff....
trust me, when I get springs, I'll be running BE/BH struts/shocks at all 4 corners, with EA82 tophats. Which means that the BE/BH springs will fit perfectly, but I need to find springs made for them.
I know they have a completely different suspension design than other EJ-series subarus.....that's exactly the reason I need them.
