In the section on GC/GF cars...

Now, with that setup, I've got about 5" of wheel-well clearance (ready for rallying? ) and so if I want lowering springs, I need to look for 04-07 springs. Any comment?

This thread isn't for custom fitment....you can make anything work if you try hard enough.
I suppose you would use 04-07 lowering springs with that set-up. However I would much rather just run a GC specific set-up and have the correct geometry since you may not have all that much camber with your set-up. That and STi struts leave a lot to be desired. - Andrew |

So you are saying the trailing arms from any year STI would work? |

springs will fit, (front) struts won't fit so the camber issue is moot

^ This is true, the rears will fit (be sure to have the right rear springs/tophats).
But for clarity's sake I left it the way it is. Maybe I'll add a note later? - Andrew |

fitment confermation
After a lot of hours searching all the subaru forums i could find, i think i've found a lift setup that will work w/ my 96 legacy outback. with the exception of a small brake line mount modification, i believe this strut/spring combination from a 01 forrester s should bolt right in.
http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulle...-wheels-32239/ Before I buy, i'm just checking if any body out there has swapped from this year model forrester. All swaps i've found seem to have been from Pre-2000 or the xt models. Thanks for the help |

Any info on front sway bars and endlinks would be helpful for the GC line (MY93-2001).

So am I correct in thinking that if I get some 02-03 WRX springs and put them on my MY00 2.5RS (AGX struts with stock springs now), they will fit into the stock perches and everything?
If so, then I can get some Prodrive springs in 02-03 WRX fitment and have roughly the stock ride height but with a stiffer spring, correct? |

Why is it not suggested? What are some of the drawbacks? Do you have any links to people who've done it?
I understand that putting a spring that was not intended to use on my car onto my car is not necessarily a good idea, I just want to know if there is knowledge and experience of specific drawbacks. Thanks! |
