some sound advice on new coilovers please
 

ive just spent thousands converting my standard wrx hawleye into something good new 2.5 stroker engine new head bolts sump etc full set of brembos 04 6 speed box alloys front mount intercooler and the list goes on but my back shockers are knackered as they do and im not spending 800 to replace oem ones as they are rubish looked at bc's but have been told after 6 months or so they start knocking too my problem is my chasis number is gdg so none of the earlier kits fit rear shocks have a totally different fitting any ideas been looking at tein basic damper kit as i dont want anything too hard as i like to use the car and the roads round here are less than great lol anyone used them ?

There is a thread on here about someone fixing them by cleaning out the old dried grease and re-packing them. They also fitted a grease nipple so when things started to knock they could add new grease could be worth a search. If I find it will edit to add link.

We run the BC coilovers on our car, we also are a dealer for them. Ours have been on 18 months now and not a noise or knock from them at all. BC revised the rear upper mounts ages ago which stopped the knocking issues. You can be confident a set of BC Coilovers will serve you well. There reputation is excellent value for money.

I think the knocking bcs are the old design and the newer ones have rubber top mount rears that eliminate the knocking.
I could be wrong on that tho

110% correct

good cos i'm about to buy some myself :lol1:

how much for a set then

Id also take these into consideration http://www.kw-suspension.co.uk/ yes they cost more but if you see who runs them on here you may be tempted ;)
Probably the best vfm suspension you will get under 4k (no they are not that expensive either ;))

Tony do you know how they compare with the Bilstein B14 coilovers?

As above KW will be best option for you or Nitron 2-way,which have 1 year rolling warranty,for similar money you can get Intrax HDA,this company making inserts for EXE-TC

Bilstein B14 coilovers seems are OK,but main thing what is missing on them is adjustable damping,plus not sure if you can on them adjust camber
