Hang around the group buys for coilovers. I'm sure someone will be throwing their old ones away.

Make sure they've been replaced with the revised models though.

STi shocks are much firmer and lower in height, with some Eibach springs they make a great fast road setup.

I might be getting rid of my STi shocks next month, I'll send you a PM if I decide to get rid of them.

Prodrive Springs and STi shocks are a great relatively cheap upgrade for the carp they fit to the WRX.

Sti 4 struts are regarded as being the best option when considering a std strut.
I had a set and let them go! DOH!!!!! More so struts ideally should be changed at 20k.
