Dust boots and bump stops, both sides, bugeye only.
Optimal AK-735142

https://www.spring-loaded.co.uk/prod...E-%7EAK-735142
Written description is incorrect - with regard to fitment and year.

Lower rear isolator:

Picture is incorrect.

You will only find springs equivalent to the MY01 - 20380FE570 version on ebay
As 2 pot posted various bumpstop/dust cover sets are listed, just search on 20371FE110
20375FC001- used on many models (inc turbo) as below _
http://opposedforces.com/parts/info/20375FC001/
20375AC030 ​​​​​​​- Dealer, US, Japan, Partsouq etc.

The kyb 910046 rear dust boot and bump stops is incorrect for a bugeye.

I'd be a bit dubious about changing springs/struts in singles.

Is 20380FE570 a wagon rear spring?
and
20380FE560 is the saloon rear spring?

Really, looked like both same part number when I looked. I know the struts are handed.

So looking at that full setup a WRX rear set would be the same fitment?

I've done it before, never felt bad in anyway. Remember buying my first impreza and when it went for mot, the guy said there was a clamp, clamping the rear spring together, as had gone into 2 halves, this was a 1998 non turbo, bought a shock off a turbo model and fitted it, felt fine.

I might go for this, looks alot less hassle, and looks like it includes top mounts?
