Wrx coilovers on ss?

Post by porkchop »

Possibly buying a set of dc coilovers from a 5x100 04 wrx, will these fit the legacy sport sedan?

yes, you will need to drill a new hole for one of the mounting bolts in the rear, and if they have front camber plates they will be orentated the wrong way unless you redrill the strut tower. its not as hard as it sounds, ive done it on a few cars.

I saw them on a friend's legacy and the camber plates were indeed angled the wrong direction. I don't know how much that affects your geometry but it definitely wasn't straight like my camber plates on my GC 93-98 coilovers are.

It wont throw off your geometry all u need to do after u put them on is get it aligned. I did my coilovers and i did the alignment the same day and it was simple. No weird tracking ride beautifuly, and i got the 2 inches lower i wanted
