Rear Shocker Gone.
 

Already replaced one a while back,whats the best step next???? Replace again or go down the coilover route. Needs to be cheap though:thumb:

i know agood breakers might give you £50 for the car;):D

More expensive than your other half then:hjtwofing

i wish it was more expensive mate lol,on the serious side though id be thinking more along the lines of bilstiens for your motor as there built to last unlike alot of theses coil overs mate

I would get some BC's and enjoy.

Are teins any good?i bought some yesterday (not fitted yet) they have adjustable camber,compression,rebound,height all round,also is there an easy way to get them in a ballpark setting/
cheers...

Eat less pies ?

my rear shockers have gone too. getting BC coilovers. Will provide feedback in two weeks :)

BC coilovers have solved my knocking rear shocker problem. But that was just my excuse to get them. They are awesome.

Certainly BCs would be considered by most as the best way forward, but in case you're interested we've just started stocking replacement KYB shocks for the WRX and STI models, sold in pairs at £259.99 inc VAt and del

Hi all,ive just bought some tein gas coilovers with adjustable height also camber adjustable at front,will be fitting them when it stops flaming raining!!! ill keep you informed as to how car behaves afterwards.thanks for your comments..

Hi Neil
For what year???
Only pairs, not singles???

Stripping the rear struts and regreasing (using a decent grease, not the margerine FHI used) can fix the problem very cheaply, I regreased mine over 18months ago and they are still fine.

Hi mate just go on Camskill website and look under KYB and here is it for £400
full set(Front and Rear shocks) http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...0b0s2730p30405

One of mine went recently, I tried to get a KYB pattern version, no dice. It seems the main dealer is the way to go if you have a Hawkeye STi (I'm happy to be corrected on this as a single shocker is £360 from a dealer)

Yes you can only get them from a main stealer, and yes they will still only last a year or so before knocking.....

Can you still drive on knocking shocks? I feel no difference in performance other than the irritating noise.

They normally, well in my case and many others knock then start to bind-up, making the rear suspension feel overly hard. Sometimes they get stuck extended and settle with a clunk.
Not good I would either re-grease or ditch.
Try and push the rear of the car down by pushing on the boot floor, I bet it's as solid as a rock.

I took it to HDC Subaru this afternoon for them to look at it. Howard spent 10-15 minutes under the car and all was well. Didnt charge me a penny. Best news was that it wasnt the shocks after all.

are you hiding somthing here,if it wasnt the shocks,what was it?

dont tell us it was the spare wheel moving????


lol


stu.

Lol, no it was one of the brake caliper bolts working loose. He said it was just one of those very unlikely things to happen that happened.

Let you off this time:D

:thumb: Thanks very much
