try ebay shops for the kyb golds, think they were about 250 a pair when i was looking, ended up going the coilover route as nothing saying they last.
a freind of mine bought a full set from subaru for an 03 sti and got a shock to say the least, and only lasted a month.

I saw the KYB they say there for 2003 up but I thought that they would e a different shock for the 2.5 litre.

I got the rears replaced on my 05 STi under warranty from a dealer, I think they were £400ish each I will be getting BC coilovers next.

I believe they are 357+ Vat. Had the knocking from the rears for the secound time and just out of warranty. so gone for the group buy on the BC coilovers from Bren at Apex. With fitting will still come in cheaper.

And that's for all 4 of the BC's (which are vastly superior to the stock shocks and adjustable) not just 2 standard rears! Dealer prices are extortionate.
