Bigsky Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Im looking into getting new suspension for this car. All the ones on ebay i find say they fit but also say they are for wrx. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coilover-Suspension-Kits-For-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-GC8-Adjustable-Height-Coil-Strut/282865037595?fits=Year%3A1996|Model%3AImpreza|Submodel%3ALX|Engine+-+Liter_Display%3A2.2L|Make%3ASubaru|Trim%3ALX+Sedan+4-Door|Engine%3A2.2L+2212CC+H4+GAS+SOHC+Naturally+Aspirated&hash=item41dc11f11b:g:ijkAAOSwLS5bTukC I will also need a few upper mounts for the front as mine are shot . But dont want to spend the money on a wrong part. Any advice? Thank you. I truely love my subbie once i get it tweaked a bit it will be one bad rump roast ride. I am glad i found this forum tho.

idosubaru Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Don’t listen to me for anything performance related. Top mounts need to be OEM or KYB, aftermarkets can suck real bad. they can balloon up like a mushroom cloud and I’ve seen them fail in less than a week. same with struts you can get away with some but others are floaty, terrible, feel unsafe, and probably have similarly low longevity if you want any more than to limp then around to flip or drive one or two more years. For average daily drivers OEM or KYB is the standard. I’ve seen some smoking cheap deals in the past for the KYB FWD rear struts and got them, they work in your Impreza.
