Was about to buy these for my '93 TW until i read:
KYB GR-2 Struts to fit 1992 to 1994 Subaru Legacy models excluding air suspension and Wagons..
Whatsup with Wagons?? I cant use Sedan GR2's on a Wagon?

Where have you seen them? Shopping around, thats the best price I can find. Thats for a complete set, 2 front + 2 rear.
Last two places I checked want $69ea and $80ea.

Likely stiffer due to increased payload, but I don't see there being any differences in fitment.

Yeah i cant find any better deals. Even Amazon.com has them but for $77ea.
Here's what I got out of the KYB Parts Catalog for our model Years:
Doesn't say anything about Sedan or Wagon... so im going to compare part numbers and i think I may end up getting em.

the only difference seems to be the air vs. non air suspension.

Well, im kinda bummed cause last week I was at the junkyard and saw a '92 LS Wagon with GR2's on it. So I returned this weekend with the tools I'd need to grab them.
Luckily the car still had the struts on them. But unfortunatly one of the front struts were bent
He must have nailed something real hard causing one of the struts to kink and bend. I was pissed cause I probably could have got the entire set, with springs, everything ready to bolt on for alittle over $100.
Now Im spending almost $300 for just the struts. And I have a set of '02 WRX Wagon Struts & Springs I picked up for $100. So now my plans are to use the WRX springs on the GR2 struts. Hopefully it will give me the look & feel im after.
On another note. The wagon at the junkyard used to have pnumatic suspension. It appears the prev. owner used the GR2's to convert to conventional struts.
