Default Kyb ultra sr sourcing difficulties

Hi guys,

Currently struggling to obtain a new Nsr ultra sr damper for my wrx turbo 05 blob eye, I can get all other three but Nsr is unavailable from all my local factors (euro car parts etc) speaking to Powerstation today they inform me kyb have no stock in Europe and there are no plans to rush any over for us so can't give a date for delivery if they will at all.. Part number is 324031

So it's a long shot but does anybody know of a factor/tuner that might have one on the shelf and if not what shock should I look for as a replacement to compliment my tein springs that arrived in the week??

Cheers in advance
Stu

Right then, camskills have told me the same as everywhere else. The dampers are major back order if they're even still being made.

I need some suggestions for replacements, all I can find seem to be koni sports. Has anyone else used these and what are you're opinions.
Really don't want to go coilovers as I already have springs sat here waiting to go on.

Cheers.

Hi.
It was a rear I was after but at the time no one could give me a delivery date and needed the car back on the road so I settled for some excel g dampers and I chucked a whiteline rear roll bar on.
Cheers. Stu

l've tried getting some today, fronts and rears, and l'm being told that not date can be given for delivery as kyb won't give one. Have rang several distributors who have all said the same thing. Is it possible to get them direct from KYB ?

Have just spoken to the tech dept at KYB Warrington who say that the part number 324027 which is the nearside front for the Ultra SR is now a discontinued part. The other part Numbers 324026 front offside are available and part numbers 324030/31 offside rear/nearside rear will be available around mid Feb/Mar respectively. Hope that helps.
