Sorry mate neither GC nor GD coilovers will fit the rear of a BE/BH due to different suspension designs, Macpherson in the GC vs four link in the BE/BH. Fronts fit but spring rates will be out due to the Liberty being heavier. You're best off looking for a set specifically for a Liberty/Legacy

Awesome, so I can put in a front set of wrx coilover and use camber bolts/plates to alter the camber? Do you/anyone know how easy it would be to put sedan front control arms in to increase the aftermarket parts available? I’ve read somewhere that the sedan arms are slightly longer which give more track but can affect geometry unless corrected properly

I have found kyb rear shocks which are the only OEM or like replacements, so I might go for these in the rear.

As for sway bar upgrades (assuming sedan control arms are no good) are there any upgrade options? I’ve looked at white line but they only seem to do foz/Imprezas/gen4+ lib gt
