don't go to the main dealer though get them from who makes them for subaru, not sure who it is at the mo but if you do a search think it might be kyb but i'm sure someone will be along to correct me

not much sense in going to KYB cos they make the dodgy rear struts. yes you'll get them cheaper than going thro subaru dealer but you'll get the same knocking problem within a year!!
