Default Are shockers on hawkeye same as blobeye?

I need a rear nearside shocker for my 56 plate hawkeye sti spec D, are they the same As blobeye?

It knocks only at low speed and sometimes feels like ive run over something, does this sound like shock?

got same prob mate! the shocks dry out and start sticking! hence the knocking when you slowly start moving off! I jacked mine up, pulled the dust cover up and sprayed a shed load of white lithium Greece on them! only a temp fix but you get a quite car for a while! long term fix get coilys :-))

There's a set of RB320 suspension for sale on the RBoc - http://www.rb320ownersclub.co.uk/ind...showtopic=3845
Bilstein in conjunction with Prodrive re-worked the OE struts, to prevent them from knocking. They also lower the car by 30mm at the rear & 10mm at the front!!
Prodrive are also selling brand new RB320 front Bilstein suspension struts on ebay!
