For new items, I think your looking at KYB's from Camskill (for example) as these are similar (if not the same) as factory. Alternatively, check out the for sale sections of scoobynet for parts being sold or cars being broken.

There's always a wanted ad on scoobynet.
Check the subaru parts section on Pistonheads.
Give Dave Coe a call, may have some lying around for a small fee.
Ebay
Grade A Subaru, scooby breakers etc.

If your going aftermarket then there is a wide choice out there.

could be the hub i bought a classic back year and a bit ago it was a good car but the back wheel had hit the curb and the owner thought it was a prob with suspension ect but i turned out to be the hub i thought that would never push the wheel out that much but put new hub on and sorted, just a thought.
