Hi All,

One of my front shocks has gone to shocker absorber heaven. My handling is akin to a north sea ferry at high speed, verging on dangerous and I need to get it sorted quick.

OEM front shocks are apparently £383+VAT each!!

My mechanic has only managed to find one motor factor shock. A Sax unit for £125+VAT each. This is a lot more reasonable, but I have no idea what they're like.

Has anyone else here fitted SAX shocks with OEM springs?

I spoke to RCM this afternoon. They do a BC Racing coilover kit for all four corners for £640+VAT. My mechanic said that they will be too stiff considering I'm using my Impreza every day at the moment.

If anyone can offer any suggestions for aftermarket front shocks for a Hawkeye I'd be really grateful. Ps rear shocks were replaced 2 years ago for Boge units (as OEM units were rather pricey at the time).

Cheers,
Mike
