Default KYB Shocks on a Hawkeye WRX

I've been looking at the KYB website with a view to replacing the front inverted shocks on my 2007 hawkeye WRX saloon with KYb Excel Gs. KYB website lists part numbers 334460 and 334461 as suitable for this model and replacement for the inverted shock.
However I've spoken to some specialists who say KYB don't make a replacement for the front inverted shocks on these models.
Confused

Anyone done this replacement using these parts for this model?

Thanks

As long as you're using 100pcd, the part numbers are correct.

You'll need 2 front bump stops.
If lowered ride height use these - dome side up:

Or
Stock ride height use these:
Subaru Impreza 92-00 Front Shock Absorber Dust Boot & Bump Stop Kit
The picture is wrong - its showing classic rears.

Really wish KYB would do something with their part numbers / ordering system etc for imprezas.
