Hello all, i'm wondering if the rear lower control arm from a WRX would be able to fit in my 92 legacy turbo? I'm guessing the ends should be the same size (not sure), but what about the overall length?
The reason i ask is that the WRX ones look stronger and much lighter, and they can accommodate the newer style endlinks. Totech has already brought the Whitline and MRT parts to my attention but i doubt i could afford them at the moment.
Thanks in advance

I don't know about the wrx ones. they might. I would get the parts from either the gc impreza or the bd legacy would work. these bc parts are still available in japan by atleast one or two brands. I am gona use gc ones. sti are fairly reasonable. noltec makes some that are adjustble. I think I'm gona try these. I'll let you know.

get some mrt or whiteline adjustable lateral links. They will fit, and will allow you to upgrade to the newer style end links.

I'm gonna bump this up, because I want to know if the Lateral links are swapped, will a GC8 swaybar and swaybar mounts work?
WRX lateral links are a 10mm (?) longer than the GC8/Turbo Leg ones, due to the wider track. Trailing links are swappable as far as I know though.

I think the swaybar not fitting has to do with the spare tire well and not the suspension setup.

I bought a set of rear lateral links from mTK from a 2.5RS i believe, wich share the same as the WRX. They fit just the same as my stock '92 Turbo's
I now have WRX endlinks to replace the stock droplinks, and hopefully soon i'll have everything installed.

is there a problem with the links in legacy turbos, are wrx ones better. i got a hole kit with 24mm rear sway bar plus the yellow hard rubbers it was just like the factory spec made by white line
does the wrx one make it stiffer or better.

I dont know about any differences. I replaced mine because the bushings on the stock legacy lateral bars were trashed, and im too broke to buy new ones. I was able to get the rear links and bars all for under $25 as opposed to $25ea for a bushing.
