Default Can't find KYB struts

So I need 2 front struts for a Hawkeye R, part numbers are coming back as 20312FE120 20312FE130

So tried on Ebay and nothing, even though the struts up forsale say they fit my car part numbers don't match, part numbers in the centre are 11 not 12

Any info would be great

Well I am confused. Loads struts say they fit 2005-2007 R models but don't had my part numbers listed

Would have thought it would have been the same as the WRX

I wouldn't if this has anything to do with mine being a Cyprus import?

Now't to do with being a Cyprus import.
Have you enquired with Subaru UK for availablity??

KYB - Europe "suggest" using 334460 and 334461 and used for all Newage imprezas except the WRXSTI.
KYB -US "suggest using" 334470 and 334471(not generally available in UK)

From 2020 KYB middle East and Africa Catalogue



and also WRX

Cheers Doh, why does it come up with USA part numbers instead of Europe?

These look the part, not tried Subaru no.

But they said they wouldn't fit mine and told me to buy these

As @jaygsi wrote, they're for the wagon variant - if you have a saloon, they would increase the amount of negative camber.

KYB ended up getting back to me to confirm what had already been said.

These are the parts for that VIN: 334460/334461 Front 334358/334359 Rear

Abit late but always nice to have extra confirmation.
