Would 03 wrx sedan struts and springs bolt up to a 94 leggy turbo wagon? A set just popped up on CL for a reasonable price.
Holla atcha boy.

I think yes, go look at the sticky thread for the compilation of a ton of suspension info.

But, I think the spring rates from the WRX sedan are a lot lower than the 1st Gen wagon.

Thank you sir!
I briefly looked over some of the suspension stickies and it looked like i might need new perches?
Im not too saavy on suspension or anything for that matter. But would a lower spring rate just make the car much stiffer?

There is a recent thread talking about the compatibility of the struts.

Personally, I'd keep the rear springs from your Touring Wagon. Touring Wagon rear springs are firmer than any Impreza except the STI (even harder than WRX wagons). STI rear springs are about the same.

Really? I was definitely unaware of that. The rear actually sits pretty close to where I'd like. It's just the front of the car is so dang high! Same with my 98 GT.
These wagons handle like boats from the factory in comparison to my 2nd gen legacy.

If the rear is lower than your front, then your springs or struts are toasted back there. The rear of a Touring Wagon should sit higher thanm the back.

Check the wheel arch measurement against this info to see if your touring wagon is sitting where it should be, or if the springs are sagging.
