What should I do?

Hi all.

I am a suspension noob and I don't really know anything about suspension at all. I have a '97 Impreza L and I was wondering what type of suspension stuff I should start out with.

TIA.

a stiffer rear swaybar really helps get rid of the nasty understeer. Good first suspension mod. If you can afford it get the endlinks changed at the same time (extra $100).

Any recommendations on what brand/product?

Another quick question, will WRX stuff fit onto the Impreza L? I am guessing not, but who knows?

Most likely not I would imagine, and cusco and whiteline make some good suspension products, so I would see if they have parts for your car. Front and rear sway bars w/ endlinks would do wonders for starts.

Cool. I think someone asked if Gruppe-s had GC Whiteline stuff in stock. I think they said they didn't but the can order it from the manufacturer or something.
