Default KYB Ultra SR Shocks & Tein Springs

KYB Ultra SR shocks & Tein S Tech Springs 30mm/25mm off a 2001 WRX Bugeye. Thinking of coilovers so gauging interest on this set up off my car before i decide.

If i get some definate interest then i'm certainly going down the coilover route. Would prefer collection but you'd be welcome to arrange your own courier.

I'd be wanting £250 (no offers)for the full set up as i don't really want to be splitting them.

Having not driven the car in standard form i can't really give you an honest answer. What i can say is that the set up is firm but forgiving, it doesn't rattle your teeth, if that makes sense.

the set up is much stiffer when cornering over the standard ride and alot firmer over speed bumps ect, standard springs/shocks were quite bouncey.. the kyb's with the teins are very much like the sti set up. stiffer, lower and a much better stance.

having said that kev ide stick with them mate over coilovers if your just using it as a road car pal... coilovers imo are used and set up for track use.. ide keep your money. the kyb set up that i put on your car is perfect

is this for the top mounts, whole suspension leg included or is it just shocks and springs.

will take them if it is the whole unit as my top mounts maybe worn and was looking at replacing with coilovers, but for my needs these will be better.

I'm running the same set up on my STI,
Firm but very good on our UK roads.
I'd stick with these over £700-800 entry level coilovers any day IMHO.
If not then GLWS mate.

They're for sale once i get a definate buyer. The advert says "Gauging Interest" if you read it properly, i haven't got the money to pay for coilovers and then have these sat on a shelf for months collecting dust.

I'm running standard kyb rear struts on my 2004 blob sti and they're fine, they're not the ultra sr's though as the struts are black.

Mine were on the car when I got it so I don't know where or when they were bought. I just know they are good shocks
