I need to replace my rear struts and these things are hella expensive. I found a great deal on a new set of Rear struts for a '95 imprezza. Are they the same?

 

The guy only wants 70 bucks for the both

(Not to go against Shawn's "Don't answer unless you're sure" model...)

 

Though I have never TRIED to put Impreza struts on a Legacy, I have put Outback struts on a 96 Legacy and while doing my research on that topic this topic came up as well. As I recall, they do NOT fit.

Damn, well the other day in my curiosity I had the guy at the autoparts store compare a legacy and an imprezza strut, apparently according to him the imprezza strut was a bit shorter so Id imagine even if it were to fit exactly youde mess up your ride height, so its probably a no go. Especially where I live (the middle of nowhere) lol. I need all the ground clearance I can get.

Than go for the Outback struts! They'll give you about an extra 1.5 to 2" of height and let you fit up to 205-75r15's on. As illustrated below:
