The damper bearings are inside the strut housing.

Where can I find the part numbers for these bearings or where can I buy them?

To my knowledge, you can't buy the KYB bearing size.

So if you buy new shocks, they don't come with the bearings? What a rip off!

They come as a sealed unit ie with the bearings inside 2pot whas showing you the bit what fails from a disassembled shock. So yes you get the bearings for free

That's great.
Going to wait hopefully black Friday might see some reduced prices on KYB shocks unless there are some cheaper alternatives which I'm not aware of :)

autodoc is the cheapest place I have found for kyb shocks and where I'll be buying mine from

If non-widetrack 100pcd wrx saloon:

KYB ultra sr inverted 321002 321003 321004 321005 (need an sti rate spring)

KYB ultra sr non-inverted 324030 324031 324032 324033

KYB excel-g non-inverted 334460 334461 334358 334359

They'll all rub with the wheels and springs you've got.

Damn!!
Will it still rub even after having arches rolled?
Need to make a purchase by tomorrow

Sorry to revive this thread but I got a a full set of KYB shocks and top mounts in the sale. (Big thanks to 2pot for helping me out)
Any tips on maintenance before fitting the new parts? Just checking that they don't need to be greased etc ?

They are the Excel G parts I believe. I bought them from Buycarparts who are part of AutoDoc but they had 26% off whereas everyone else had 25% off so bought from there as was a little cheaper.
Off top off my head, I believe the total for all 4 shocks/top mounts and dust covers came to around £420 inc vat.

Good deal that mate when you getting it fitted or are you doing it yourself

Discover 30 November 2018 08:35 PM

Yes, the items were ordered on black Friday and delivered on Tuesday so pretty impressed with the delivery.
I wish I could fit them myself, will probably book car in at Richard Henry's to have this fitted. Hope its not too expensive :(

hackisfun 30 November 2018 08:51 PM

Shouldn't take a competent mechanic much more than 4 hours to complete.so depending on local rates £150-250

@Discover did they ever turn up?

i have an STi hawk with knocking rears.
budget isn’t an issue really but the timing is.


stockcar 16 February 2019 09:24 AM

Yeah, someone else asked if they turned up. If I remember correctly I ordered on a Friday and they were delivered the following Monday.Booked in next week, still haven’t time to fit them as I had to do full cambelt last month.
