Default Rear Shock Agony

I am new to this folks - be gentle ! Bought my first WRX (wagon) 55 plate 18K miles with PPP aboout 4 months ago. Anyways - heard a knocking noise form the N/S rear and assumed it was the shock. Last night it sounded like the fookn exhaust was dragging along the ground !!! Real loud banging like 2 tin cans being hit against each other !?? Anyways - in short - it's in the garage and am awaiting the jury to come back with the verdict...... any suggestions? Do I replace the rear shocks or just go the full hog and get coilovers? If so what type do you suggest?

cheers

It would appear that Subaru have issues with their shocks. The general concensus is to get rid of the OE set up and go with after market stuff.
I, and a lot of others, are looking at BC coilovers.
Just have a quick search and you'll see for yourself.

thanks for that...... I have been looking and have seen that this is a common flaw. I have been quoted for Tein coilovers, which I can get locally - will spend a bit more time looking before I decide.

Cheers.....
