Default Suspension and tyres

Hi folks,

The rear shocks on my 2001 wrx wagon have started knocking so I'll treat my car to some new ones. http://www.camskill.co.uk/m10b0s2713...ion_-_Shockers looks like it is the right page buct which ones are the correct ones? I'll put my 1 year old prodrive springs on. Will any other bits need replacing at the same time? Car has done 75K

Also what performance (but cheap) tyres would you recommend from that site? I'll buy them at the same time.

Cheers

Dan

Cheers,

Can somebody confirm these are the tyres I need in the right size? http://www.camskill.co.uk/m54b0s103p...R17_87Y_XL_TL_

Also if somebody could advise me what shocks I need I'd appreciate it.

Cheers

Cheers,

Can somebody confirm what shocks I should get and if any extra bits are needed (topmounts maybe)?

Car has whitelene adjustable ARB's, steal drop links and prodrive springs.

Would I get away with backs only or should I do all 4?

Thanks

Hi there

you can use use your old Top mounts,but if you want you can replace them for STi or Group N top mounts.

About the shocks,saloon or wagon shocks are same,both will fit on yours,but if you want for your wagon these will be OK,because are for GG models(wagons)i have fitted saloon coilovers HSD HR

http://www.camskill.co.uk/m10b0s2713...ct_02_Excl_STi

Yes you can use your old Prodrive springs without the problems.If its possible i would replace all 4 (but if budget is tight yes you can replace just 2 ones),but for almost these money you can have BC coilovers or some used Tein,BC etc.

About the tyres,i would go for Falken FK452

http://www.camskill.co.uk/m54b0s103p...R17_87W_XL_TL_

Or HANKOOK K110 V12 EVO
