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!!!!

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!

Much cheaper than doing the whole lot!

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.

Not sure these will fit your model though, you can e-mail KYB the OE part code and they'll confirm.

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

+1, i put kyb ultras on mine, much better than the oem shocks and eibach springs, with allthe whiteline goodies and strut braces front and back. Huge improvement
