Need to replace my top mounts on the rear suspension of my 2001 Bugeye UK300, going to replace the shocks as well with KYB Ultra SR's so they match the front but what I need to make sure is am I buying the right ones?

These are the shocks:

And these are the top mounts:

Any advice is greatly appreciated, just want to make sure I'm buying the right thing before ordering........

 

Have you already got STI inverted, or non-inverted, Ultra SR's on the front of your wrx?

 

I have a set of unused Bug rear mounts that I can let you have for a lot less than retail.

 

I already have a set of Ultra SR's on the front of it but I couldn't tell you if they were inverted or non inverted........

Bugger I have gone and ordered a set now, may I just ask how much yours would have been please?

 

1/2 price.

 

I’ve got an unused set of gaiters for the shocks I think and a brand new set of Whiteline front drop links for a Bug also IIRC.

 

If your front struts are inverted Ultra SR? Then the rears, you have posted above, are correct.

Ultra SR inverted - 39mm damper rod - internal bump stops
Ultra SR non-inverted - 22mm damper rod - external bump stops

Ultra sr aren't strictly a match for wrx springs though.

 

Oh well, guess you win some and you lose some lol

Price?

The Ultra SR's on the front have Tein springs fitted to them and I also have a set of Tien springs for the rear to fit......

 

Two things to ponder:
On Teins, your ride height is so low you're permanently riding on the internal bump stops = poor ride and handling. Paticularly problematic at the front, as the 60mm front stop is rock hard.
And, because the bump stops are so compressed, it can act like a pump and start sucking the oil out of the dampers.
