Cool what coilover?

Hi guys was woundering if you can help.

I own a 2005 wrx uk 300, I have just taken the car in to have a service and found one shock absorber on the front and one on the back has failed. I currently have a AST coilover system on the car and was woundering if it would be better to repair the AST system or replace with BC Racing or Tein.

Thankyou jon

Thanks for the reply guys, I spoke to AST and they said it will cost roughly £360 to repair plus carriage then I am thinking about £200 for fitting. Do you still think this is the best option as BC new is £800. Thanks again jon

I'd probably go for the repair - ASTs are dearer than BCs for a reason, and remember you'll still have to pay for the BCs to be fitted

I'd speak to Litchfield about servicing the ASTs. Don't know about Kent though, sorry.

For servicing, you need to use Curtis Woodman at Powerstation in Tewkesbury (whom I assume you've already corresponded with):
