Default 1992 Subaru Legacy Suspension

Hello
I have 1992 Subaru Legacy Turbo Estate (BF5 2.0 turbo).
I need new suspension, but I have a big problem.
I'm living in Israel and there are no Legacy Turbo like my car here, my car is the only turbocharged legacy.
The Subaru dealers in Israel started to sell the Impreza Turbo only in 1995.
Because of all this story, there are no legacy turbo coilovers here, only Impreza.
I found on the internet coilovers for legacy but it will be very difficult to import it because there are a lot of taxes and stuff. Israel is a stupid country.
My question is: Will 1995 Impreza Turbo suspension ( "GC"/"GF"/"GM") will fit to my car?
I can buy in Israel coilovers for Impreza.
Thank you very much
Regards,
Daniel.

Hi!
Thank you for the quick answer !!
There is one more problem...
when the Dealers started to sell the Impreza GT, they sold only the sedan version.
I guess that Impreza sedan (GC) suspension won't fit?
Only the WRX wagon sold here from 2001 or 2002...
Will WRX wagon suspension fit?
Thank you,
Daniel.

hi no not gga new 2001+ shape.

Classic GC8 will also fit no problem straight in..

Wagons come with slightly different spring to suit extra weight of wagon rear end.


GC8 fit no problem though

Hi, Thank you again!
Can i Fit to my Legacy this springs with some improve shocks?
Can somebody recommend on any shocks and springs for Impreza GC8?
Or may I buy coilovers?
I love driving fast in curved roads, but some of the roads in my city (Haifa) are in bad condition and there are holes and stuff.
So I need something sporty but not too low and not too hard.
Recommends?
Thank you !
Daniel.

Something like kyb replacment dampers with a 30mm eibach spring drop be comfy and handle good.

Hi,
I found Impreza GT (GC8) original springs and shocks in good condition and good price.
As a learned here, it should fit my car, right?
Will it be a good combination?
Thanks.
