mattyg41383 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Have any of you put a Gen1 Impreza strut bar onto a Gen 1 Legacy?? I took the trusty tape measure out and saw that the space between the front struts and the bolts appear the same. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I dont know about the gen 1 stuff... but with some minor modification to the "body" of my 98 Legacy GT I put a 22mm Rear Sway and Whiteline Rear Strut Brace from a 2002 Impreza RS. I would imagine that your gen 1 stuff should be compatible.. some people said my Impreza stuff wouldn't fit on the legacy.. but it eventually did. Give it a try and let us know!

Legacy777 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Yeah I have impreza RS strut bars on my legacy. The front fit without modification. The rear required a little bending of the plate to angle it correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg41383 Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Thats cool, i dont really plan on putting in a rear bar becuase I have the trunk cover and a 12" Infnity kappa perfect in the way. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie Gal Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 gen 1 and even gen 2 should be nearly identical to the Impreza i had an Impreza RS bar on my 99 Legacy GT with no modification. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg41383 Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 So i got a cheeseball Front Strut Tower Bar from eBay for a 93+ GC8, and put it on the wagon today. It fit like a glove. The surprising thing is i can actually notice a difference in the handling of the car. Response is quicker, although the little bumps seem to hit a bit harder.

starkiller Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 what did you pay for that strut bar off of ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg41383 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 it was like $15 .... I basically bought it as a goof, as it was obviously not high tech, but Im actually kinda happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
