does anyone know if the 04 style impreza rs strut bar will fit a 99 lgt?

 

yes

 

:lol: I wasn't sure if the "yes" meant - "Yes, I know the answer," or "Yes it does fit."

Yes, the bar will fit.

 

The bar, however, will be a complete BITCH to get into a sedan... wagons are eassssssssy though.

 

There's a difference between the wagons and sedans? I'm talking about the bar that goes under the hood from strut tower to strut tower

Didn't realize there was that much difference between the 99 BD and BG. I know I took the WL 04 WRX strut bar off my 99 BG and put it on my 98 BD with no issues. :confused:

oh, i meant the rear bar, just because of the seats and trunkspace

 

yeah the fronts are the same throughout them all

 

make sure you get the low profile brackets on the front one so you dont need to mod your hood to get it to close

Don't kill me if this isn't where you want it ;)

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..

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.

Whiteline

K4RT3OY

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

Lightweight Crank Pulley - 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

Engine Mounts - 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

Either search "bd bg legacy" in eBay there's a pair on there now for the JDM 1 piecers. Also if you buy the 4 pcs auto vent shade ones for a 3rd gen (2000-2004) legacy wagon they WILL fit. That what I have, make sure you don't get the sedan ones.
