The usual Blobeye STi suspension Jip!
As is common on these cars, I've got a 2005 Blob STi and the back passenger side suspension is knocking (quite badly now, as its been doing it for over a year lol!).
Try as I might, I can't seem to find anywhere that sells replacement suspension. I know that the original KYB stuff is a bit ****, hense I might not put that on, but I did find THIS: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RACELAND-Full-...item19c59762e2 Does anyone know if this is A) What I need, and B) Any good? Thanks a lot!!!! |
there is a thread on here somewhere about them supposed to be good value for money i think
|
Great stuff, cheers! I only really wanted to replace the rears, but maybe I'll go all out and do the whole lot, only got to be done once then!
|
Maybe I'll just be really naughty and replace just the back left suspension, this geezer seems to be selling what I need for £107!
http://www.grahamgoode.com/subaru/pa...oup=114&nav=10 Much cheaper than doing the whole lot! |
you should replace shocks in pairs!
not a good idea to cut corners on a high performance car |
Yeah I know, I'm aware but on the odd occasion, sometimes I just think "yeah, it'll be alright"... knowing it probably wont be lol.
|
Euro car parts sell kyb STI rears and I'm sure their cheaper than Graham Goode. I got mine from them and I'm sure I only paid around £200 if my memory serves me right.
|
Got full set for sale less than 2 k done on them since warrenty replaced( oe sti)
But off 04 sti s 4x100 so not sure they fit yours £100 the Lot |
Just checked, good prices but theyre out of stock! Thanks for the recommendation though, thats useful :D
|
argh, I don't think they'll fit!!!! If they do though, I'll have em! Is anyone able to say whether they'll fit or not? Cheers!

http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...912s2730p30407 Not sure these will fit your model though, you can e-mail KYB the OE part code and they'll confirm. Anders |
Aren`t KYB supposed to be sh1t though? Someone recommended them to me and many people slated them!

Set of BC coilovers fromt eh group buy on here....£600 all in and you can lower the car as much as you want :)
Got mine fitted on Wednesday there: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...o/S7302280.jpg :thumb: |
Kyb are OE so if they are good enough for Subaru then their good enough for me :) and their made in Jp :) I think people say they are cr.p coz they knock but I think that is more to do with the orig design of the whole set up rather than the shock itself.

I would have fitted Exe-TC coilovers but they discontinued the fast road kit :( |
Thats brilliant thanks for all the options guys! I quite fancy a set of the group buy coilovers if I'm honest!

KYB make the OE shocks, but for £455 quid, I'd sooner fit what I know than a coilover kit that may be too harsh on the country lanes.
