Thought there was kyb for that model but Subaru wouldn't let them sell them as such. Sure I've seen a thread on here about it. In other words there is a set made for the later new age but they're not listed as such. Hope that makes sense and you'll need to search for the thread.

Anyway I put kyb on a few of mine including the bug I've got now and never had any issues.

Thanks mate that's good to know as they are quite cheap,
I sprayed mine with white lithium grease a week ago to give it a try and now the noise is gone not sure how long it will last but I'm not complaining
