hi everyone i was just wondering if anyone is using these on their classic and if their any good as I'm looking to change my suspension in the near future and also trying to avoid going coilovers?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Koni-Sport...item35d7902117

If not good could anyone recommend a good set up mainly for fast road and as the shocks and springs on my car now are pretty knackered and I'm looking to upgrade most suspension components on my car?

thanks all

Hi Fella

Not sure about those Koni struts, however I had some decent advice from my local subaru dealer mechanics, Bulldog in twyford regarding the shocks and also the same opinion on SN
so i have now placed the order for these

just trying to get advice on replacement springs albeit at present i plan to keep the existing.

Top mounts is the next question.....

Keep us updated with what you go for though and if i have mine fitted I will post an update.

hi mate i've asked a few people about the koni set up and they say they break after about a year so im not going for that now but their only seems to be gas shock out their these days so at first i was going to go for the KYB Excel G shocks but as u no gas shocks can be a lot more stiffer than standard shocks, then i was told about these KYB AGX adjustables which let you control how hard or soft you want the car to ride ill put a ebay link below to let u see that their quite expensive but been told by people that use them that they have had no issue's with them.

as for springs im going to go for the Eibach pro kit lowering springs as they only lower about 30mm so should sit nicely and been given alot of good reviews about the eibach springs

and top mounts i've seen these top mount that are STI Group N top mounts and i will also put the link below but would like to see if a few other people could let me no if these top mounts give off much of a difference compared to the standard top mounts??

but if i get no response about the top mount anthonyreading ill ask about other clubs and let u no what people have said about them and if their any good mate

and yeah keep me updated about what set up you go for in the end mate

Will do mate.
I will have a look into those springs, nice one.
I have a JDM 95 WRX impreza saloon, had it a while, but had a few issues regarding oil leaks which resulted in me taking it off the road for about 6 years LOL
only recently put it back on the road and found the dreaded oil leak had returned however its now resolved.

took the oil pump off and found the back of the casing almost hanging off, i have since found out that its apparently a common fault.....

so onwards and upwards now.

Coppin1991

yeah engine is always first on the list when its not running right hope it all goes well

and also that link you posted to me about the shocks are they the ones u brought as they say its for a non turbo 2wd model?? or was it just and example of what u brought??

afternoon Coppin1991

just a quick update fella

brought the uprated group N sti top mounts front and rear

http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/part...var=0&dc=&gen=

http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/part...var=0&dc=&gen=

not a bad price to be honest.

just waiting for the Eibach pro springs and top mounts to arrive so I can get on and fit it all....

Coppin1991

nice mate thanks for the update and those top mounts are a very good price and have the shocks arrived at yours yet??

anthonyreading

iTrader: (1)

the shocks and droplinks were delivered very quickly from CAMSKILL, havent opened the packaging as yet but it all appears to be there.

ended up finding the following website for the springs

http://www.just-subaru.com/suspensio...c-68563-0.html

The prices are crazy cheap, however there is just one thing......
the website is about 8 years out of date.......

they are actually
http://www.revolution247.com/

they had one set of these springs left which they did for £225 delivered.....
bit dubious but will see upon arrival...

Coppin1991

Nice mate what drop links do you choose standard or updated ones??
And you'll have to take pics of your car with the standard set up and then another one after to see how much lower it sits mate??
