TbirdMan Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Ok, for the summer, I plan to swap the Prodrive P1 springs/KYB GR2 struts from my 95 impreza to my 99. I know the swap should work one way, putting the impreza struts on the legacy (with maybe a saggy butt spacer) but has anyone ever put legacy struts on an impreza? I want to keep the car sellable (the engine is blown right now but we are gonna throw a low mile 1.8 in soon). I assume at least the rear is gonna be up a bit higher then the stock?

LegacyDude Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 If you can put butt spacers on the rear, why couldn't you do the same thing on the front? I'm not sure about it. But it sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 I wouldn't be too worried about the height difference of the impreza, just that it will bolt up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 14, 2012 I Donated Share Posted May 14, 2012 Yes it will bolt up. You will have to zip tie the brake lines to the strut though....either that or trade brake lines between the cars. The way they clip to the struts is different -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

TbirdMan Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 yeah, I already have that issue somewhat since I think the last owner put 04WRX stainless braided lines on my legacy. (they don't clip to the struts.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 any idea what kind of spacers i might need? specs of the P1's for GC are: Drops 25mm, 215 lb Front, 195 lb Rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 14, 2012 I Donated Share Posted May 14, 2012 Sounds about right. When you put the Legacy stuff on the Impreza, it will have the same issues. Use zip ties to solve the problem. 3/8in spacers. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

TbirdMan Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 now, since the Impreza is 1in drop, the heavier LGT should be a bit more, no? maybe more like 1.5in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
