Hi

The near side rear shock absorber on my R Sport wagon has rusted to the extent that the spring has gone through the cup and is in contact with the tyre so is now unsafe to drive.

Has anyone got any idea what's the best option - obviously replacement shocks but which brand is best for normal driving with a little bit of "pressing on".

Would WRX shocks be a good replacement ?

Thanks in advance.

Andrew.

KYB are the go to brand for replacements, however I wouldn't know if they do them for your model.

2pot on here would be a good person to contact for recommendations

Thanks.

Would anyone know if WRX shocks would fit ?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if WRX springs will fit the standard R Sport shock absorbers ?

Thanks.

Andrew.

Thank you - most helpful.

I had pedders on my old R sport and they did nothing but knock and rattle. Wrx suspension will fit yes, Kyb’s get my vote.

Ive bought the rears - KYB - it's just the spring choice now.

Thanks for your help.
