Well rears have no rebound stiff as hell and springs rattle every now and then... and if I'll be fixing the rear might as well do fronts to... any place in Perth I could go to have it looked at.. I just thought once they die that's it..

Standard shocks are $580 each from Subaru... spend half that for decent coil overs I'm guessing

Just buy some stock second handies from Mick at Japline. Get him to install them too. Probably take him about 20 minutes.

You mean second hand stock shocks or coil overs?

nick73 27-04-2017 09:37 PM

Stock standard second hand oem struts. Just my opinion but if the car is a daily and you're never going to track it why waste coin on something that will rattle your bugeye to pieces and annoy the the fuck out of you.

locote 27-04-2017 10:01 PM

I'll give him a call when I come back to Perth... I just don't wanna be replacing them again any time soon if they are second hand that is all... and there's no cheaper alternative like Monroe or the like is there...

And thier 12-13yr old oem shocks. Getting a bit long in the tooth now

nick73 28-04-2017 06:18 PM

Yeah but $500 bro...

Bram 28-04-2017 06:44 PM

It would be interesting to see current subaru pricing on them. Speaking with Mik recently and he reckons alot of the gc/gd parts are now being put on special pricing because of being close to obsolete now or something like that. The price he rattled off for brand new headlights for his forester was better than most wreckers for used. And the price on rear r180 driveshafts complete was pretty damn competitive aswell. I doubt it would be 500. But it might not be as massive as difference as one would expect.

locote 28-04-2017 08:16 PM

I got quoted 580 each shock 2 days ago..

Bram 28-04-2017 08:33 PM

Lol. Must not be on the obsoleted list yet then haha

locote 28-04-2017 08:52 PM

I have to say I don't know they came with the car that has adjustables on it..
