For replacement Shocks try here...

Graham Walker Ltd

I ordered a set of 4 as I have them knocking like mad on the rear and front now.. ordered Friday and arrived today! - p&p was only £8

KYB are the company that make them for Subaru... only difference is these ones for the STI are gold instead of Subaru red....

Good complany to deal with...

They seem very reasonably priced from what i hear about Subaru prices! LOL.
Do the STi ones fit the WRX? I would think as long as the year matches i should be ok? The STi are a bit firmer i think.

i have just inquired about these also KYB ULTRA SR , 375 quid with a 5% discount too, no to bad as i live just around the corner ...

but the group buy coilovers have put a smile on my face , cheap prices up to what else is out there, so thats a plus.
