Do you have to replace all 4? It seems to be the rears on my WRX wagon that keep failing, I just want something that works and is cheaper/longer lasting than OEM struts. So can I just go for two BC coilovers on the back, or are there better traditional struts I could replace them with? Or would having coilovers on the back and standard on the front lead to an imbalanced car?

Cheapest option (and possibly more reliable) is just replace a single corner strut/spring for CIRCA £250. If you want an uprated solution (with a compromise on longevity) then perhaps go for the BC's at £650 all round.

If you could find a pair then they would be fine, as they are adjustable, you could even change the springs if needed....
KYB adjustables are a budget alternative, probably much cheaper than OE parts.
