Default Rear shocks for 2003 STI - asap

Hi all

Got someone coming to see the car, and low and behold something has to go wrong, its not a major issue. The driver side rear shock absorber needs changing. So im wondering has anyone got a pair of rear shocks for sale? or maybe even just the one.

Thanks

Try Camskills. They do next day delivery and are about the cheapest around.

I agree with the Trooper 1815.
I bought two front shock for MY02 impreza sti for £210 delivered, about 2 months ago. If you need product advice they have a help line.

No those shock absorbers definitely won't fit, the only way they would fit would be to change over the wheel hubs as the mounting points are different.

So they were off a WRX and not an STi? As the rebound rates for the two types of shock absorbers are different and should not be mixed.

Well that car must have sat on dealers forecourt for some time as they changed over on MY05 from memory, I take it then that the car did not have automatic DCCD or the later interior.

The WRX's stayed at 5x100 PCD as my Hawkeye WRX was the same PCD.
