Default Classic - KYB Adjustable Shocks/Springs complete setup

Fitting these has given me the bug to try something a bit more special such as coil overs or Bilsteins. So decided to sell while still looking fresh.

Ride is much improved over standard, and suprisingly firm compared to OE UK Impreza Shocks.

These are not new but 2nd hand and fully repainted by myself.

The appearance of these will last alot longer as have given plenty of coats of paint and laquer.

Front have 4-way adjustment
Rears have 8-way adjustment

Come complete with STi Springs and Top Mounts, fully assembled, so a simple bolt on modification. No need to strip down your old shocks for parts.

£300, collection. Could possibley arrange courier for an addition £20-£30

Hi,

I have only done a few hundred, probably less then 300 as car only comes out at weekends...infact has probably only been out 3 weekends since they went on.

I fully repainted them as KYB only seem to put a sniff of paint on them, so they start to look rough (much like the Teins I see for sale 2nd hand) with surface rust etc.....

I did try and get mielage info from the previous owner of the shocks and this was his reply :
"I'm not 100% sure on the milage. I bought them from a friend who had them on his show car which he hardly ever used.

I had them on my car for about 8 months but I only really used it about 3 time a week to drive to local sports halls to play Badminton.

I would guess they have done less than 6,000 miles. They are toally mechanicly sound "
