Hi all.

I have recently purchased a 2006 STI Type UK and I have noticed that the rear shocks sound like they are on their way out. I have had the top mounts replaced under warranty by the garage that I bought them from but it still continues to make the same noise. I have done some reading around on the forum and I have seen people talking about just getting standard shocks and springs or going for coilover. Subaru have quoted me £1200 for the shocks and £200 to fit them which seems a lot of money to me.

I was wondering what you guys would suggest say coilover wise as seeing as I’m going to have to change the back 2 shocks, for the same price I can upgrade the whole set up to Coilover rite which will intern make the car handle better rite? If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Many Thanks

Steve
