The last thing you would want are the front and rear shock absorbers working at different rates.

I have a full set of sti suspension here, off a widetrack blob. Not sure if it is only the hubs that are different. If you can get the strut off you're welcome to match it up.

Shaun, you can't unfortunately use the shock absorbers from a widetrack Blobeye without changing the hubs etc as the mounting points are different.

You have always got to spoil the party
Dean @ 3arches is on the case trying to source a full set of sti shocks with pro drive springs. Fingers crossed...

What Ty and Dylan have said. I've done some reading and the hub fitting to the strut is thicker on a widetrack, so won't fit yours without some machining.

Ok no worries. I wanted you to have a look as there is a bit of rush ob top but its right on the edge of where the spoiler sits. You can see a shadow line of the rush when the boot is open.

It's going to be stripped back, holes filled and reprinted for spoilerless. I'm not worried about rust.
