Spec C RA-R STi Suspension Wanted
Hi Guys,
I realise that the suspension used on the RA-R is fairly unique to this model.
Does anyone know if the suspension is used on any other cars?
I cant locate the part numbers - Is it still available from Subaru ?
I require a set used on the RA-R - ideally new or as new. Any info most welcome - thanks

thanks for the reply
I think these are not the same as the ones used in the RA-R - I stand to be corrected and confirmation, either way would be very useful.

Hi,
does anyone know how to contact P1-Murph / Tom ???
his inbox is full and I cannot PM him.
thanks.
also, we are inspecting a RA-R next week - is there anything specific to look out for on this type of car? Any corrosion areas or common faults that need looking at??????

still looking for the original RA-R type pink STi full suspension (units & springs)
and a pair of front lower spot lights that where an option on the car.
at present, I have just the plain curved covers.

Can I ask what spotlights your adding to the car and why?
As for the suspension. Im a bit confused. The very FACT that there is a set available in the UK and your considering it expensive? I personally think such a clean set could fetch upwards of £3k given its rarity and condition!
Have you forgotten about the shipping cost, and possible duties you will have to pay on top. Not to mention how incredibly rare the set is. Its obvious your unable to obtain them from anywhere.
Seriously! Its an RA-R, it should be a no brainer and no expense spared for a such a rare car. You cant match bronze with gold.....

As above - Japanparts lists (and always have done) all STI items even once they have been discontinued - years after in-fact... 22b bonnet vents, STI sport bumper (22b narrowbody) as prime examples.
There is no stock available in Japan of not just the struts but also the springs.
2pot - I'm VERY interested in your maths - how does 25% ontop of the screenprice of Japanparts website work out as a landed cost to UK shores...?
Shipping on struts @ approx 8-9KG each = approx £40-50 per strut.
Import duty @4% of cost price.
VAT @20% of true landed goods cost (Japan cost, Import duty and shipping included).
That simply equates to far more than 25% ontop of screen price....
ZANY - The Spec C RA is a different strut to the Spec C RA-R struts. They do share the same spring though...
Originality is where a high end limited edition car's true value lies.
