Default Rear shocks needs replacing .. help!!

Hey

Just took the car for its first service with Rich @ FB ... he did a fantastic job but highlighted a knocking sound from the rear shocks


He recommended I order the following as this is a common problem in Subaru Impreza's

KYB Shocks

2x Eibach camber bolts

My question is which KYB shocks do I need? Ultra golds or?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Camber bolts

The Ultra SR will probably be fine; the AGX are adjustable but you'd need to remove the rear seats to make any adjustments. Make sure you get the widetrack ones - try somewhere like Camskill or Scoobyworld

Rich was commenting about how straight your car was after you left.

Ultra SR will give roughly the same damping as stock OEM dampers. Camskill are usually the cheapest and you can look up the part numbers on the KYB website.

Ahh thanks Jon

I will order 2 sets of the bolts tomorrow, I will phone camskill and make sure I get the correct shocks, did you get your car sorted after I left?

What do you mean how straight?
