Whiteline RCA Kit
This is for Impreza. Does anyone foresee any fitment problems on a 91 Legacy SS?
I am also in need of the steering rack bushings. What size is our rack? oh, that made me chuckle...

It should fit no problem...but you do realize that it moves the roll-center of the front of the car, right?!

In a good way. me want. I think camber plates and bushings and an ALK need to happen first though.
Yes it will fit. There's a very slight chance 14" wheels won't fit over it.
Rack bushings are the 202 ones.

Yeah, I know its in a good way...but I agree about the bushings and ALK and whatnot...
What I was getting at is that it will not make the car drive identically to now, if that is what he was going for.
And, he has an SS, so 14" wheels won't fit anyway

Yes...yes. Early presents.
I took a look at my rack bushings one day after I changed lanes at 70 mph with out telling the car to do so...
They look like...like....like....AHHHH!!!! Scary business. They are smashed and squeezing out of the brackets like too much jelly on a PBJ. I must admist, it makes going to work in the morning a hell of a lot more interesting! Gives me that morning pick-me-up that coffee just can't deliver.

I just looked up tie rods because I need some. I wish my ball joints weren't brand new because OEM parts from Subiegal are the same price as this kit.
Also be careful not to strip the bolts on the steering rack. It was easy for me but I've heard horror stories.

They fit and work fine. I lowered my car with some perrin WRX springs and threw these on to help get some camber back. No problems after about 4 months. Got them off of a guy for like $120 shipped on NASIOC.
