Hi. I've changed front and rear shocks on my V2 Sti a couple of months ago. I bought a Kayaba Excel-G from Camskill, I think I paid £120 delivered per pair Brand New. These are standard replacement so NOT Sti's. These are absolutely fine.

Hope this help a bit.

 

To be honest I would N E V E R buy second hand shock absorbers !!! Think, it's your SAFE !

 

Thanks for that m8 just what i was after good price too

 

Any time :-)

 

Full set is great value also, thanks for bringing it to my attention mate, will be changing mine in next few weeks

 

I had changed mine about 2 years ago, for standard, and of course brand new, I also added some lowering springs, and boy what a difference.

My car is also a MY00, so getting on a bit.

But as above say, don't buy second hand, don't know the history, and also might be worse then what you got due to age and wear.

 

I second the excel-G from camskill, had a full set fitted to my V6 sti wagon and they are great! (and cheap!!)

 

thanks for all the replys guys defo gonna be fitting a set to my classic should go well with my elbach lowering springs

 

I know they are more expensive but I bought the KYB AGX and mated them to red P1 Eibachs.

They are awesome.

 

if only my wallet would allow but have a tdo5 sitting here and halfway there with the car to get my car remapped by mr forrest all have to go for the cheaper option

still a good price from camskill for adjustable shocks though

 

personaly i'd get kyb adjustables, great bit pof kit and not that pricey
