looking to lower 98 impwagon

[jfarr]

so what should i go with for springs and struts. Does anyone have some used for sale cheap.

sti springs drop you about an inch. GClark used to have him on his GD wagon. You can get them used for cheap.

Won't he need tophats to use them on a GC/GF?

Hell if I know.

Yes, in fact he might need the whole assembly. Another option is to get a set of eibach lowering springs for a regular Impreza or RS of the same year.

Looked into it:

I just picked up STi springs for my '02 wagon from my buddy. I believe that they require 04+ top hats in the rear though. So I'll have to decide what I'm going to do about that.

 

Any input on that?

yes 04+ style REAR tops (fronts are fine)- you'll also need the tic spacer to retrofit the 02/03 style struts so they will fit properly w/ the 04+ tops

If your worried about saggy butt, paranoid fabrication just came out w/ some different spacers- 3/8" should bee very, very close

..::ARANOID FABRICATIONS:::...

and just so no one is confused on the two different spacers- the first goes under the top to insure a proper fit between the strut (02/03) and the top (04+), the other spacers go on top of the strut tops- they are simply do help balance out ride heights
