Default What rear shockabsorber for a bugeye

Hi Guys
I have a bugeye wrx prodrive wagon and the drivers rear shocker has sarted to leak oil, does anyone have a spare they are willing to sell or know what to buy to replace it. I have found a bill for some KYB shockers which were fitted in 2009.

Thanks Dean

You can either replace with a set of Kyb from ebay or a reputable stockist or you can try sourcing some second hand.

Have the KYB's only lasted 2 years then?

Yes I have a receipt from June 09 when 4 kyb shockers were supplied and fitted. To be honest I'm not keen on replacing them with kyb.

KYB make the factory fit shockers, and they fail within minutes as well
