Hi,

 

I need to replace my rear shocks on the STi, I have been toldf I could use shocks from Pedders (see link below) and I wondered if anyone else has had any experience with them?

I don't have self levelling suspension on the STi so it should be a straight swap.

Thanks

I would probably use KYB Ultra SR struts for an sti, standard suspension is quite stiff on those so damping of the pedders won't be best option.

I've a pedders kit on my sf. Well priced and since August no problems,can't really tell you how different they are to standard as mine were completely dead, I imagine they'd be a little too soft for the sti as Mr b says.

They do do sti kits. May be worth speaking to them if you have no joy with the kyb's

Thanks I'll look at the KYB Ultra SR ones and let you know how I get on.

Finally got to look at the KYB Ultra SR's only to find they are not available for the Forester STi

probably not listed for sti but they do fit.

Same as all kyb strut models not always listed for the XT but they fit & can work really well !

So I've found some original Subaru shocks for a Forester STi SG5, mine is SG9 will they fit?

Yes ....

Cheers Mr. B, purchased now just waiting to get them to the UK!
