This is a guide I’ve been throwing together representing the aftermarket support for second generation (1995-1999 USDM and 1993-1998 JDM) Subaru Legacy/Outback. while everything hyperlinked is fully compatible with your 2nd gen, keep in mind that it is only a guide to give you a better idea of what to look for.. Bolt Ons Upgrades DIY Guides Suspension: Springs H&R (-1.5”, -1.25”) RS☆R (-1.25”,- 1.25”) Eibach (-1.2”,-1.2”) Struts KYB GR-2 – 10% Stiffer than OEM Struts KYB AGX – On-Car Adjustable Damping Coilovers K Sport Kontrol Ground Control KW Suspension Variant JIC Racing Raceland Rear Suspension Spacers – Cures the ‘saggy butt’ look after lowering your car, 3/8” Recommended. Front Strut Tower Bar – Reduce body flex by providing extra stiffness between the strut towers. disclaimer*- make sure to purchase MY93-01, or any with low-profile brackets. Rear Strut Tower Bar -Especially effective in wagons Front Swaybar – Reduce body lean and increase body roll resistance by upgrading to larger sways. Rear Swaybar *In order to use 93-01 Impreza RSB, you will need to modify your fuel tank Front Endlinks - increase swaybar effectiveness by upgrading to endlinks with less flex than the rubber OEM. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Kartboy-Subaru-Rear-Endlinks-04-07/dp/B0067QSFQW]04-07 STi REAR[/ame] Whiteline K4RT3OY Bushings - help reduce drive train flex, eliminate chatter, missed shifts, etc. Control arm - lower inner front Control arm - lower inner rear Steering - rack & pinion mount Sway bar – link (Front) Control arm - lower inner & outer Differential - support outrigger Differential - mounts in cradle Sway bar – link Sway bar - link assembly Sway bar - link assembly Sway bar - 18mm Sway bar - 19mm Sway bar - 20mm Sway bar - 22mm Sway bar - 24mm Sway bar - 25mm - (Tribeca FSB) Trailing arm – front Trailing arm - rear Shifter Bushings - Improve shift feel and responsiveness on your vehicle by eliminating the soft rubber factory bushing Front / Rear Transmission Crossmember Bushings - These bushings can take the torque and vibration of high-performance street and race use Sway bar Mounts - Super rigid forged light weight alloy mounting. Rear Sub-frame Locking Bolt Kit - These bolts lock out the rear diff. sub frame bushings to maintain alignment under extreme conditions. Aluminum Control Arms - Reduces your un-sprung weight and deflection under hard cornering resulting in improved handling Control Arms - Lighter weight aluminum control arms from GC chassis imprezas bolt right up Castor Kits - Adds caster to the front wheels giving the car more turn in response GTSpec Whiteline Perrin Braking: Rotors Brembo Slotted , Front / Rear Stoptech Cryo Treated Pads EBC Greenstuff – Designed to reduce heat and dust, best for daily driven cars EBC Redstuff – Designed for a mixture of track and daily driving EBC Yellowstuff – Used primarily in heavily raced and tracked vehicles SS Brake Lines - Improves pedal feel and response Speed Bleeder - Allows brake bleeding to be easily done by only one person Master Cylinder Brace - helps prevent flex among the master brake cylinder by adding more holding points to it Performance: Cold Air Intake – the Ebay intake was dyno proven at about a 6hp gain over similar Cosmo Racing ($200+) intake systems MAF Adapter – You’ll need this to affix the cone filter to your MAF Muffler - Anything works here Borla UEL Headers - Not recommended due to the thin walls and chances of cracking Borla Replica Un-Equal Length Header – Bring out the boxer rumble and free up a few HP. Much better reports than original Borla’s OBX Equal Length Header – Sacrifice some of your rumble for more performance gains. Header Heat Wrap – Keep the exhaust hot and the valve train noise muffled. High-Flow Catalytic Converter – Increase exhaust flow Camshaft Grinding - Low end gains and high end gains depend on how you want them grinded Spark Plug Wires - Lightened Flywheel - Reduce weight and inertia for better engine response [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Grimmspeed-Lightweight-Crank-Pulley-Blue/dp/B0054RG63Y]Lightweight Crank Pulley[/ame] - Get quicker throttle response and more horsepower and torque. Reducing rotating mass results in better performance. Grounding Kit – Smooth out idle and ride, reduce noise, and free up some HP. Engine Management – Optimize engine performance by controlling aspects such as fuel mixture and ignition timing. Port and Polished Heads - Reduce the restriction in the engine's intake and exhaust chambers to allow more air into the system, gaining power. Engine Pitch Stop - A mount that’s stiffer than stock will reduce the amount of forward and backward movement the engine has. Roll Center Adjuster – For lowered cars, this replaces ball joints ad returns the control arm angle closer to stock to help bring roll center closer to CG. Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacer - Greatly reduces the transfer of heat from engine to intake manifold thus reducing heat soak. Every 5° temp. drop = 1% power gain [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Subaru-Mounts-Legacy-Listing-Fitment/dp/B00ANOV24G]Engine Mounts[/ame] - Less sway and flex in engine components helps put more efficient power down to the ground. Transmission Mounts - Transmission Mounts Make the transmission more solid. They will give you better feel for your transmission and easier shifting. 4EAT / 5MT Transmission Oil Cooler – Improve overall performance, and lengthen the life of both the fluid and tranny Engine Oil Cooler - Reduces oil temperature for extended engine life Short Shifters - Kartboy (with bushings) TWM Interior: Gauge Mods Backlight Color Change Carbon Fiber Gauge Face Mod Gauge Swap Seating -seat belt latches will need to be swapped out for the ones that you already have 97-01 2.5RS 02-03 WRX 04-07 WRX 08-09 WRX 04-09 STi Steering Wheels -02 JDM WRX airbags are plug and play 03 JDM some have same problem as the 03 usdm(read below) -All 02 WRX steering wheels will be plug and play with your airbag connector, 03 WRX air bags have a different connector but will physically fit in. You can splice out the the connectors but at your own risk and not recommended. -To use your cruise control you will need to swap the modules in the steering wheel. 02-03 WRX WRX Center Console Swap Custom Door cards STi ‘Blue’ Carpet Carpet/Headliner Dye Floormats A-Pillar 2-Gauge Pods – Fits 52mm gauges Custom Shift Boots Exterior: Chrome Turn Signal Bulbs – Flash Amber JDM Wagon Tail Lights JDM Wagon Smoked Tail Lights JDM Sedan Tail Lights JDM Projector Headlights JDM Projector Headlights - Black JDM Projector Morette Headlights - Very Rare JDM Sidemarkers - Amber JDM Sidemarkers - Clear JDM Front Bumper - GT-B JDM Front Bumper GT-B Limited JDM Window Visors JDM Aero Splash Guards – Takes place of mudflaps JDM Sedan Rear Window – Rear Wiper JDM L7 Grille JDM RFRB Grille JDM Power Folding – Folding also found on 1995 ‘L’ Model Legacys JDM Ganador Side Mirrors JDM Projector Fog Lights JDM Flush Door Trim JDM Clear Sidemarker Part Number: F-01 HM6-112
