Default Best place to get new KYB shocks from

Rear shocks have started knocking on my 54 plate STi. Where's the best place to get some KYB ULTRA SR's from whos both reliable and decent on price. Rung a few places. Some so they don't make them! And others vary a lot in price. Tried getting them direct from KYB but they only sell to traders.
Or does anyone recommend anot alternative, want to keep the car as standard as possible.
Cheers

KYB don't retail replacement STI (114.3 pcd), front struts - they're only available via Subaru, to date.

That ebay store is where I got mine from, best price and 2 day delivery to the Highlands. I would definitely recommend them.

Bought some shock from Mister-Auto from ebay.

Cheapest price but rubbish delivery and not well enough, waited almost 2 weeks for badly packaged, damaged shocks to arrive

Was is worth the saving NOPE....

Sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know if the adjustable Coilovers on eBay for £250-£300 are any good?

I saw those and managed to track down some reviews on US forums. Not great. Questionable build quality, hard, crashy etc. Basically giving coilovers a bad name. If you are after a set and don't want to spend too much I think you'd be better off contacting MB developments for a decent second hand set. Also iang1983 on here is selling a set of meister r coilovers.
