1997lgt Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 So I've got this problem with my 97, and have looked around on here and found some solutions but not really an answer as to why they do it. My question is, is the problem due to sagging springs, old struts, bad top hats/strut plates or is it a combination of all 3? Or were these cars like this from the factory? I dont see mending the problem with spacers if its just fixing a strut/spring problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwa2500 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 what do you currently have on it? stock suspension? WRX suspension? STi suspension? if you have stock stuff, my guess would be blown struts. the GD (impreza) stuff is just slightly different in length due to chassis differences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997lgt Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Sorry guys. It looks to be 100% stock. I don't think The previous owner did much other than drive this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lojasmo Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Likely the springs, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted April 19, 2011 I Donated Share Posted April 19, 2011 You can find any 02-07 Wrx as a donor for struts, springs, and tophats. Your problem is likely a combo of saggy springs and blown struts. A used WRX swap will be the most affordable option for you....

Lojasmo Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I have a set of extra STI springs, if you want them. (no rear top hats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
