WRX fit Legacy?
Will a WRX suspension (shocks, springs, swaybars) fit a 91 Legacy wagon? Are there any other things interchangeable between the two?
I was just looking into getting a WRX's stock suspension and wheels for a 91 legacy. will this work?
TIA

thanks for all the info guys!
One more question,but this is mostly a troubleshooting one.
When I make a right turn (full lock) it makes the motor stutter and it feels like its gonna die! And everytime I go up my driveway and give it gas it sounds like the car makes a "tugging" sound. Not sure if these are common problems for a Legacy of this year but is there anyway to fix these?

Sounds like the AWD. When it fails, one of the clutches is in the default position, therefore causing the car to shudder at low speeds. This is a problem that I have heard of on WRX's and RS's and it sounds similar to your's. I don't really know how it is caused, but these sound like the symptoms of the WRX's and RS's that people have told me about this problem occuring on. Maybe someone else will know more about the actual problem other than that it is with the AWD.

As for the shudder/AWD issue :
This applies to AUTO TRANS ONLY. There is a wet clutch(multi disc clutch in oil) that is operated by fluid pressure from the trans whenever the TCU(trans control unit) decides to actuate the AWD. If you are turning the wheels turn a different speeds and the clutch is supposed to slip smoothly. Wear occures on the clutch and at the seals that hold the pressure. This causes the shudder. The transfer case(back of the trans) needs to be overhauled with new housing and clutch.($700ish@the dealer) The car WILL RUN FOREVER this way, even though the noise is disconcerting.
