I would look at getting KYBs new from camskill.

The second hand STI set up can be more costly in the long run. I got a sety from a well know second hand parts place, 400.00 squids and the rears were knocking within 5k miles.

Along with new struts, I would upgrade the ARBs too. Makes a masive diffence.

Or if money is no worries, theres a Coilover group buy on Scoobynet thats bee going for ages. Remember to set aside another heap of money for fitting and then a proper set up though.

On my old sport i fitted Sti shocks and lowering springs made it alot better,
do the Gx's have rear antiroll bars as the sport didnt, if so well worth fitting a turbo one,
