Default Rear Shocks - where to get them?

Hi All,

Am picking up a 95 wrx soon and the rear drivers side shock needs changing, anybody know of a decent place to get one? Is it worth doing both back ones at the same time or wont it matter?

The shocks are standard original ones by the way.

cheers

dave

IMHO

You must change both, or better, all 4.
the car is getting on a bit?

Depends on how much you want to spend.

A dealer will charge an arm and a leg for a replacement.

When I wanted to replace mine I bought some of the KYB AGX which I believe are gas adjustable versions of the original shocks. I also went for all 4 and had them fitted at Powerstation so I could get the tracking done at the same time.

Total bill, with the shocks, fitting, 7500 service and full tracking left a lot of change from the orignal quote for just two from the dealer.
