ViscousSquirrel Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 So here's the deal, my 2011 WRX wants some STI goodness, and my LGT has trashed lower control arm bushings. I'm thinking about picking up the new STI LCA's and putting them in my WRX, then taking out the WRX control arms and putting them in the LGT. I am aware through much searching that they are not exactly the same but the only difference i can find is that the bushing is flatter and wider. Thoughts?

tangcla Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 How did you go with this? I have a set of JDM Legacy Spec.C alloy lower control arms and am trying to sell. If they are the same as WRX ones then I have a wider target audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS5689 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Welcome to my predicament, my friend. I had a Subaru shop tell me we can use 2008+ STI control arms on our LGTs, but then members on here told me they would not work because of the increased size. So here's the best answer I can give you... . Helpful, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmanaenk Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 08-10 WRX arm will fit LGT. 11 WRX and 08+ STI arms are longer. Bushings are the same size though, IIRC. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRSCobra Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 08-10 WRX arm will fit LGT. 11 WRX and 08+ STI arms are longer. Bushings are the same size though, IIRC. I can vouch for the bushings being the same size. I have 08 STI bushings in my LGT LCA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangcla Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 So does the fitment go both ways? Ie will the Legacy arm fit 08-10 WRX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViscousSquirrel Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 I ended up with AVO bushings in the stockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
