Need new suspension. What's interchangable from othe cars?

Hey. My 90 leg has a nasty bounce over every bump. Makes smooth. But horribley sloppy and no one wants that.
So I was wondering if there is any suspension you can pull from another vehicle that is almost a straight swap. I don't mind small amount of modification to make it work.

Any info would be a great help! Thanks in advance!

I hate to say it, but a good search should bring up lots of info. You might have to do some reading, but your 90 is like the 91. So those two swap nicely. 92+ had a little different suspension in that the front end (if I remember right) sits a little lower. You can adjust things by swapping out the struts/tophats/springs and make your car sit the way you want.

I'm using sti top hats from a 98 impreza, prodrive p1 springs for the same car, and kyb agx struts. The car sits level and is lowered about an inch. People have gotten wrx suspension to fit just fine, but I don't know the details by memory.

It all depends on what you want to do. It can probably work. If all you want is a straight swap, just pull something form the junkyard or get something from a 90-91. KYB makes some GR-2s for a good price that will swap right in and will be stiffer than stock, but not overtly so.
