KYB or Bilstein shocks for 2012 STI saloon?
I'm having real trouble finding anything for this car, so wondered if anyone has any info? I don't want anything mega expensive as it might well be up for sale soon so OE spec or better for reasonable money is what I'm after.
I've discovered that I can fit the shocks from a 2015 car and these are around an inch shorter than the items for my car, giving it a nice bit of lowering without resorting to coilovers. But if there's something specifically for the car I can find then I'd obviously prefer that.

Nothing listed in current (2016) KYB catalogue (WRX only)
Bilstein struts and rear dampers available from STi but needs matching STi Springs - Expensive
Bilstein coilovers - Expensive
Koni - not listed (WRX only)
Looks as if it's OEM (expensive) or BC Racing Coilovers..............

Jesus. I didn't want coilovers really. I'd probably sooner buy HSD MonoPros, albeit for the GR, than the BC stuff though. Looking at about £800. There's a set of delivery mileage shocks and springs from a VA (2015) for less than half that..... Might just buy those.
