    Where do I find aftermarket parts for my 2000 LGT wagon? Are some parts interchangeable with the Impreza? I haven't been able to start working on my car due to job issues, but now i have a good job and can't seem to find Legacy specific parts for the 2000. Am i looking in the wrong places or are there just not that many parts for my car?

    What did you have in mind? I'm not about to type for an hour listing everything that interchanges if you just have a swaybar or brake pads in mind.

    My Legacy is quite the Suabru bastard child, so let us know what you want to do and we can give you thin in's, out's, and what-have-you's.

    The front sway bar is interchangeable with any NA impreza, the rear is not. Wheels are the same, front struts are the same as the '02+ Impreza's (I'm 99% sure on this one), what else do you want to know about?

    mmmkay. Depending on what you want to spend, WRX brakes are a popular upgrade for people. The Subaru 4 pots are quite popular as well. I'm using the RacingBrake 16" front setup, but thats a bit more yet.

    For suspension, damn near anything will work with the proper top hats, aside from '05 and up STi, and '05 and up Legacy. I'm using GC/GM Impreza coilovers in my Legacy. Bushings are pretty much the same, endlinks, etc. If you call the right place, they will know what carries over.

    As for exhaust, pretty much any N/A header will work, and Impreza axel-backs are 4" short of working as well. Many seem to like the Borla knock-offs since they don't crack like the real ones.

    Will the WRX calipers fit my stock 16" LGT wheels? what about the 4 pots?
    Also are intake systems interchangeable? My friend bought an Injen cold air intake for his 2005 2.5rs and it looked like it would fit in my car.

    WRX calipers and rotors should fit under your 16's. Dunno about the 4 pots though. As far as I know, they only fit under the RS 6 spokes, and the five spokes, maybe. The most noticeable gain in performance will be just brake pads . Everything from there out will be smaller improvements. Same thing with tires as far as handling goes.
