Default Which Dampers?

I've got an 03 WRX and after 50,000 miles the dampers are starting to wear out (it bounces over large low frequency bumps / undulations).
- As I've already got the Eibach springs - I don't want the £1K+ expense of coilovers - just a very good set of dampers (I've used Koni top adjustables in the past).

Anyone got any ideas / recommendations?

I note you've been to Powerstation recently mate, I'd be talking to them about suspension mods!

These seem to be well like especially with Eibachs and there is a GB being arranged.

NSO4 - *Taps nose and points* You are spot on mate - yet another day spent with the lovely Powerstation!

They are rather keen on their AST suspension - and so before I have to sell the wife - I thought I would see if any other SN'ers had any recommendations ....

By all accounts the ASTs are fantasitc, but -as you've said- you'd have to sell the wife......you might quite like your wife! The eibachs and kybs are apparently a very good match and will work out significantly cheaper.....you might just have to hire the wife out instead!!

Hmm - not only that - as we're moving house my nuts would be in grave danger ....... £1K is a lot to spend on the car when you've already spent £1500 on it this month ..... and she wants a new kitchen and bathroom!
