So im going to be replacing my rear wheel bearings soon. I picked up some new bolts/nuts/washers since i know they arent going to come off very nicely despite the gallons of PB ive been spraying on them everytime i have the rear end up. I figure since i have the knuckles off i might aswell replace the shot bushings.
From what ive been reading it sounds like STI Group N bushings will fit. Does anyone have a good site for buying these cheap?
Also if anyone has suggestions of other manufactures of these bushings i would appreciate it.
Finally since im getting new link bushings i was thinking of replacing my front outer diff T-carrier bushings. Sounds like the Group N's will fit also. Thoughts?

I've heard group N bushings are pretty hard to press in, especially the one in the knuckle to trailing link. Superpro makes urethane bushings which might be easier. Someone on here bought a bunch of them but I haven't seen anything since. Global performance should have them. It's where Racecomp got me my whiteline swaybar bushings.

I have a whole set of the Superpro bushings awaiting my attention.
I just need to get some free time to put them in......

That global site seems to be Europe and has no listings for super pro bushings for any subaru models. Which chassis should i be looking for on these since they usually dont list the BC legacy along with GC/GD chassis parts even if they fit.
I was able to find the inner and outer link kits but nothing on the trailing arms. Links are appreciated.

Actually, Global Performance Parts is located in Michigan.
On the main page of their site they have the SuperPro catalog. From there you can find the necessary stuff.
I ended up going with a kit designed for the GC Imprezas (SuperPro kit135k), since almost everything should be the same. Under the GC impreza listing, they have the control arm bushings and the trailing arm bushings.
GPP doesn't have it listed on their site, but if you contact them they can order it for you. I ended up ordering through Boxer4Racing.com instead, since they are local to me and have helped out in the past.
As I mentioned, I haven't gotten around to putting them in yet, so there is a very slim chance they won't work 100% perfectly, but I felt confident enough to drop $300+ on the full kit.
If they do work, I intend to contact SuperPro and let them know so they can update their catalog.

Exactly. I am 99.99% sure everything will fit perfectly, and I'm a pessimist.
I heard someone say the front a-arm bushing would need to be shaved down some, but superpro specifically list the same part for the imprezas and the legacies.
