Best price is to get replacement KYB shocks from somewhere like Camskill. Probably £90ish per corner, when i looked into it a few years ago, Subaru were nearly 3 times the price

Oh, and i think KYB make the Subaru genuine shocks anyway

Maybe worth looking into upgrading, which may surprise you and not cost a lot or more. Alternatively, they can usually be had on ebay for reasonable money.

Think your right Steve, when I took my original shocks off for a refurb and paint I noticed KYB stamped in them.

I was looking at KYB's all round on mine plus some Eibach springs and BC's were cheaper
