project Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hey all, I've been searching for some kind of list of any and all parts which are swappable between the LGT (4th gen), and the WRX/STi. I know the 08-up WRX turbos are a direct bolt-on for us, as well as front sway bars, and I know Brembo's are possibility with little work, but I've been unable to find out if there are any strut/coilover options which are the same across both platforms. For instance, will STi struts, from an 04, bolt up to an LGT? Are the top hats a different design, and would they be swappable? What is the difference between the USDM and JDM LGT top hats? I've noticed some struts require the use of one or the other. Thanks everyone! For instance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolksey85 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Only Legacy struts will work. Nothing interchanges as far as struts go. I assume top hats are the same way but can't verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 What causes the legacy struts to be the only ones which are compatible? Is it due the the top hat, or the portion which bolts to the hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The reason only Legacy parts work with only the Legacy is that the suspension design is specific to this car. The older Impreza had a multi link rear and the new Impreza has a revised version of what you have. As far as JDM vs USDM, the STi or any other special variation JDM Legacy used what the US Spec B got. Hence slight trim differences between items. Otherwise the standard JDM Legacy has the same stuff you do. So when it comes to getting something, get LGT only. Front Brembos will bolt on, rears require some work. Check out some of the FAQs and stickies for more specifics. Hope this helps. -Jake http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg Call directly for your best Whiteline Price! | We also carry almost every manufacturer now, so before you buy parts call us.

project Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thank you AZP! I knew the GD chassis Impreza ran a macpherson strut/multilink set-up, but I wasn't really sure what our cars were equipped with. I've read through most of the FAQ's and honestly I've been a little disappointed with them. It seems like they start off as a great idea, touch base on something, then move on. Thanks for not calling me a n00b or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
