Default Classic STi Springs and Dampers

I'm still a nubie to the world of Subaru and I'm just wondering how easy it is to get hold of spare parts.

I'd like a brand spanking new set of STi Springs and Dampers are these still available for the Classic new, or is it a case of trauling through breakers yards to get the best set I can find.

If they are available how much would I be looking at?

I'd just like a really good road set up for my car. Its feeling very tired so I am looking at sorting it out with new bushes and Whiteline ARB's etc.

I don't want a harsh coil over ride just something to stop body roll and so I can keep up with my mate in his RB5!

A second hand set of P1 shocks and springs are the best choice, but almost impossible to find.

If you want a set of the STI ones (which are pretty much identical to P1 ones) look on Jap performance Parts

Those KYB's look really good. Can I get a set of Eibach springs to go with them? I'd prefer brand new rather than second hand so I think I may go that route. Do Bilstein do a similair set up for around £500?

I'm really not up for coil overs the bigger the springs the better in my opinion for good old British Roads! Thanks anyway.

KYB's it is then!
