Ebay are currently cheapest, £208 a pair with free p&p. I've just bought 2 rears for my sti. Just type in Subaru Impreza wrx sti shock absorbers and they'll come up.

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the best, I paid £250 (fitted) for 2 KYB Ultra SR's for My WRX. From memory, they only lasted 24k miles.

Exactly the same as the OEM shocks. Until they started knocking.

To be honest though, I had my Blob WRX 6.5 years and the only things that went wrong were 2 sets of shocks and the Neutral position switch. Can't complain really.

The STi is a lot more hardcore compared to the WRX, not a comfortable car at all to drive over bad roads. In my opinion, not a family car.

My WRX was modded to 280+ BHP and my STi has PPP (316 BHP) May not sound a lot of difference but the STi is a hell of lot quicker the real world. The difference between the Subaru 4 pots and the STi Brembo's are also like night and day.

The WRX was fast enough for a road car but couldn't throw it around in the bends as much as this one. It was however, a lot more comfortable as a daily drive or family car.
