highlinerider Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 so i just purchased a 97 lgt wagon and am looking at getting some pinks off of a 05 lgt, they where originally off of a 08 wrx. so if i purchased struts from a 02-07 wrx or a 04 sti that would work? or are the pinks from those models different from what i would get from previous year wrx's? im new to the older legacies so any advice would be much appreciated.
daddywagon Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 if i remember after 05 the wrx springs taper at the top. i think you need prior to 04 springs if you want to use them on a second gen
ESSYMOND Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I think you need struts from 04 and earlier and your current legacy tophats would work too...
fwa2500 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 does nobody read the sticky at the top of the page? heres the link for those that dont know... http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/second-generation-legacy-suspension-faq-136703.html
98quiksilvergt Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I used struts, springs, and mounts for 03 WRX. It worked out great! If you use lowering springs you'll want to use 3/8 spacers on the rear mounts. Paranoidfabrications.com has the best price.
98quiksilvergt Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I see you have only 8 posts. Don't let it bother you that there are a few members here who get personally offended when you ask a question that has already been asked. If you have a question just post it. That's why this forum was created. On the the other hand, there is a ton of info on here. Any issue you have has probably been covered. And the stickies are very useful.
fwa2500 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 ...when you ask a question that has already been asked. If you have a question just post it. the whole reason behind a stickied FAQ (frequently asked questions) thread is to keep the forum from getting consistantly clogged with the same frequently asked questions over and over and over............
JimmEh Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 yup, it takes longer to post it then to actually find the FAQ. it just shows a person is lazy and didn't even try to find it first.
highlinerider Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 I read the sticky i was more interested in figuring out how or even if the pinks from a 08 wrx would be able to mount on a gen. 2 legacy, which i found out will not. just came across a good price and thought maybe they would work. but thanks for the feedback. im going 04 sti
