Aftermarket KYB widetrack struts
2 Attachment(s)
Just a thought - it might be nice if these were available here?
Maybe it needs more than just me asking? If you get a chance, would you email KYB and ask this: enquiries@kyb-europe.com Why don't you sell these Subaru Impreza widetrack struts in the UK&NI? They're £440 a set in the US: 5510036 5510035 5510030 5510029 |
As someone looking to refresh their Spec C suspension, I will be emailing kyb Europe.
£%^& me what a nightmare minefield widetrack suspension is! I've spent days trawling Scoobynet and others trying to understand it all. 2pot, thankyou for the codes. I'd like to keep my Spec C close to standard so I've been looking at Shockwarehouse.com (US site) who sell KYB and they do sell a £420 kit but that's for the excel-g shocks which I dont think are widetrack. The gas-a-just widetrack shocks you've pictured and given the codes for are $832/set (£670 roughly) unless I'm missing something (very possible) Cheers. |
In the US, they are currently £456. Delivery and import duties would be an additional £180

Thankyou! That seems far more reasonable. Can I ask if you know these shocks and would recommend them for a spec C? It seems it's either these or coil overs and rightly or wrongly I'm nervous about fitting coilovers to a road car. Tia.

full set will cost approx 1k
if coilovers than for road car meisterR gt1 are best option for widetrack sti ,other but expensive will be ohlins road&track ( no idea why for widetrack ohlins costs over 4k) would like to try silvers neomax 2 way meisterR usually drop gt1's price on Black Friday by 20% ,last year it was only 10% |

The s203,s204 and ra-r are different struts and stiffer springs (343lb/in, 285lb/in, the same spring rates as the Meister r gt1's). This car has the US imported KYB inverted struts and a set of my Eibach-made, WA/A2+A3, 246lb/in, 224lb/in springs and bump stops, with 20mm oem front/22mm adjustable rear bars. I wouldn't go stiffer than this on undulating/uneven roads: Driving from 9:00 |

Tein also do the Enduropro Plus kit (non-inverted adjustable) for the widetrack sti - VSS66-B1DS2
I'm not sure why they've done the sti bump stop set-up, they way they have, especially at the rear. If using my sti-rate springs, my bump stops and oem dust boots, you could use: Enduropro Plus widetrack STI fronts: VSS66-B1MS2-R VSS66-B1MS2-L With Enduropro Plus WRX rears: VSS55-B1MS2-L VSS55-B1MS2-R The Tein wrx rears, I've seen, have the same rod diameter all the way up?: |

I was literally adding the KYBs to my shopping basket when you gave me the Tein option! I think I want to go as close to oem as possible which means the KYBs. I take it that it's just the struts I need to order from the US? Can I get the springs and bumpstops you mention sourced in the UK?
Thanks again for the help. |
