Just a thought - it might be nice if these were available here?

Maybe it needs more than just me asking?

If you get a chance, would you email KYB and ask this:

enquiries@kyb-europe.com

Why don't you sell these Subaru Impreza widetrack struts in the UK&NI?

They're £440 a set in the US:

5510036
5510035
5510030
5510029

As someone looking to refresh their Spec C suspension, I will be emailing kyb Europe.
£%^& me what a nightmare minefield widetrack suspension is! I've spent days trawling Scoobynet and others trying to understand it all.
2pot, thankyou for the codes. I'd like to keep my Spec C close to standard so I've been looking at Shockwarehouse.com (US site) who sell KYB and they do sell a £420 kit but that's for the excel-g shocks which I dont think are widetrack. The gas-a-just widetrack shocks you've pictured and given the codes for are $832/set (£670 roughly) unless I'm missing something (very possible)
Cheers.

In the US, they are currently £456. Delivery and import duties would be an additional £180

Thankyou! That seems far more reasonable. Can I ask if you know these shocks and would recommend them for a spec C? It seems it's either these or coil overs and rightly or wrongly I'm nervous about fitting coilovers to a road car. Tia.

full set will cost approx 1k
if coilovers than for road car meisterR gt1 are best option for widetrack sti ,other but expensive will be ohlins road&track ( no idea why for widetrack ohlins costs over 4k)
would like to try silvers neomax 2 way
meisterR usually drop gt1's price on Black Friday by 20% ,last year it was only 10%

They are for the widetrack sti and the spec c version (both 217-223lb/in, 171-191lb/in springs).
The s203,s204 and ra-r are different struts and stiffer springs (343lb/in, 285lb/in, the same spring rates as the Meister r gt1's).

This car has the US imported KYB inverted struts and a set of my Eibach-made, WA/A2+A3, 246lb/in, 224lb/in springs and bump stops, with 20mm oem front/22mm adjustable rear bars. I wouldn't go stiffer than this on undulating/uneven roads:

Tein also do the Enduropro Plus kit (non-inverted adjustable) for the widetrack sti - VSS66-B1DS2
I'm not sure why they've done the sti bump stop set-up, they way they have, especially at the rear.


If using my sti-rate springs, my bump stops and oem dust boots, you could use:

Enduropro Plus widetrack STI fronts:
VSS66-B1MS2-R
VSS66-B1MS2-L
With Enduropro Plus WRX rears:
VSS55-B1MS2-L
VSS55-B1MS2-R

The Tein wrx rears, I've seen, have the same rod diameter all the way up?:

Tein Enduropro plus +WA/A2+A3 springs:

I was literally adding the KYBs to my shopping basket when you gave me the Tein option! I think I want to go as close to oem as possible which means the KYBs. I take it that it's just the struts I need to order from the US? Can I get the springs and bumpstops you mention sourced in the UK?
Thanks again for the help.

The front dust boots, for inverted struts, are getting awkward to find. You can re-use yours or locate 2x 20322AC000 (not to be confused with 20322AA000). The rest is easily available in the UK.
