justdeserts Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Been a month or two into getting my unfortunately wrecked Subaru back on the road. Almost there but I can’t find a replacement coil spring supposed to fit my legacy. Will a coil spring from a newer model more or less get the job done?

doublechaz Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 If you can't verify that it is the same spring then you will want to replace in pairs to not end up with very odd behaviour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtdash Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) '93-'01 Impreza rear stuts/springs (full take offs) will work, too. Unless your struts are new, I'd go w/those. But double-check online that you won't get the 'saggy butt' - where the rear sits lower than front. LegacyCentral BBs should have that info, too. https://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewforum.php?f=6 To answer your question: I believe there were some differences in the rear springs in the '90s with some being tapered and won't fit your stut's perch and/or top hat. And '95+ Legacys had different rear top hat bolt patterns, so they won't just bolt on. Probably covered on some other Subie sites, such as the USBMB.
