I have seen some KYB 334358, 334358, 334360, 334370.


Are these suitable for a Hawkeye? Are they inverted?


KYB website doesn't list any for the Wagon WRX!

Not sure if they are the same for a wagon though!

Blob/Hawk wagon are:
334463, 334462, 334357, 334356
They are not inverted.

The front stops that come with pca wrx springs are for inverted struts.

You'd need:
Front 2 x Febi 27848 - use dome side-up

2 x Front dust boots (if yours are ropey)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-SHOC...QAAOSwuTxWABm9

Rear kyb 910046 bump stop and dust boot kit

Thanks - that is a great resource. So basically they are made for the vehicle but non inverted.

Thanks for the details 2pot much appreciated. I was literally about to pull the trigger on 334458, 334459, 334460, 334461 until I saw your reply.

In the above thread there is a snapshot from a KYB catalogue where I confirmed the above numbers.

You are obviously more knowledgeable than me but Are you sure about the 334463, 334462, 334357, 334356 numbers?

Great 2pot. Many thanks. I have a 2.5 Hawkeye Wagon WRX so the ones I saw were the next line down.


I cannot for the life of me get the image to attach!

Just received a set of PCA Dynamics springs kit from Peter Cambridge for my 05 blob Wrx. The service he gave was absolutely brilliant . I ordered them on the Monday, payed for them on the Tuesday and received them on Wednesday.... A top bloke and answered any questions instantly via email. These springs should give me the handling I want based on comments and his expert advice.
He has just a few kits left in stock if anyone is interested?
