SVX suspension question
Hi all, New to the board and looking at picking up a SVX. The one I'm looking at requires some new suspension. I was wondering if the struts and springs from either the Impreza or Leggy models would bolt up? I'm on a bit of a budget with this car and I know several Impreza and Leggy owners with suspension parts for a good price. Any info appreciated.
Thanks Roger

svx suspension parts are svx specific. i have read something about i think imprezza suspension working but having modification - which is what you dont want to do.

the big differance, that i know of is that on the front the sway bar bolts to the strut on the svx, and to the lower control arm on the imp/leg, so the front struts are completely out of the question, unless you want to weld brackets to your new struts(the guy i talked to said it was a bad idea, they kind of explode, but he could have done it wrong), you can get koni adjustable inserts for about what it would cost you at the dealer, also i believe that some models came with an adjustable sport suspension, that is oem parts only
hope this makes sense, and helps

Yup, Mychialo does. He also does custom springs if I remember. All you have to do is bolt them up. The price is actually not bad.
I am waiting for mine to fail... i hope he still is open for business by then,

The one that Beefcake posted would be good, since it would increase the number of orders and make it a more permanent deal.

You'd probably be intrested in this thread...
