WRX Wagon Suspension -> onto a 1994 Legacy Wagon

Will it work ? A friend told me that the AGX's are only marginally better than the stock wrx struts. Not enough different to justify the cost diff.

Will the struts/springs from a Stock WRX wagon fit a 1994 Legacy Turbo Wagon ?

Are these a suitable upgrade for a tired old legacy ?

The fronts may fit, however the rears may be a little more difficult. I think the wagons had the same design as the previous years.....

Even if everything is a direct bolt on, spring rates & damping rates may not be ideal.

May want to check nasioc and see what the spring & damping rates are for the wagon, and then compare them to the stock numbers, and aftermarket.

I have put the stock stuff from a WRX onto a legacy wagon, although mine had a "coilover" kit on them so it wasnt an issue. The struts bolt up though.

hope that helps.

COuld you define coilover...

Could you define "coilover" for me. And explain why that solved problems porting over from a WRX to your Legacy Wagon.

I have a 93 Legacy Wagon that I would love to replace suspension parts on and want to do it right. WRX stuff seems attractive. I have WRX springs, but they are from a sedan, so I don't wanna use them.

Anyway, I really just would like to know what a "coilover" is and does.

Thanks

A coilover would be something like this:

They are height adjustable, allowing you to make up some differences in spring height between wrx->legacy
