Decent rear suspension?
Hi all,
2007 STI Hawk.
Like everyone, I'm sick of the rubbish quality / knocking of the standard rear struts. Cost me a fortune going new standard struts about 4 years ago. Springs are fine.
With a budget of say £500 to £600 fitted, what struts are good quality, similar or same spec for an STi, and don't knock after a few years?

Not sure You will find something decent for rear, maybe rb320 suspension but will cost more with fronts and difficult to find now.

You could use non-inverted struts at the rear instead:
KYB 324030 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393954324...Bk9SR7y8hYK_YQ
KYB324031 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303815738...Bk9SR77ymIK_YQ
You would need a pair of rear bump stops as well.

It hasn't got to be Bilstein housings. With modifications, you can fit Bilstein inserts into KYB housings. That way you are not tied to RB320 rear springs.
