97 Legacy GT Struts?
I'm looking at upgrading/replacing my stock struts (all 4) on my 97 Legacy GT, but I don't want to lower the suspension. I can't spend too much, but since they have to get replaced anyway I'd like to improve the performance if I can.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

KYB AGX from http://www.p-s-t.com/kyb.html#agx $389 w/free shipping.
Order the strut listed for the Impreza 96-99. These will work nicely with your OEM springs and offer 4F8R adjustability. Here's some pics of my Wagon install, with lowering springs.

Thanks for the info - those look pretty sweet.
Nice pics of your ride, too!
So, how happy have you been with those struts? Is the adjustablility feature something that you use much, or do you just leave it on one setting?
What is the ride of the car like now compared to the factory struts?
Did you have any problems installing? Anything unexpected during install?

Hi,
I have a set of Kg/mm Springs (from Japan) is sitting in my garage, the car was sold. It's only been using for 4 months and willing to get rid of it with a reasonable offer. It's only drop your car around 1 inch, due to it's a sports springs not racing so you wouldn't see a lot of drop anyway..
Let me know if you interest..

Anthony, I've been very happy with the struts, leaving them (so far) at their original "middle" settings of 2F4R. The strut/spring combo (WhiteLine Sports) dropped the car exactly 1" all around. I believe the small amount of bounce I've experienced is due to the OEM strut top-mounts, and plan to swap them out for the STi mounts. I had no problems with the install, except forgetting the rubber bottom cushion on the rears, discovered after mounting one rear strut/spring. The car really sticks in the corners now!! Been on the car for over a year now with no problems or complaints.
