demondriverdave Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 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. http://www.pedders.co.uk/pedders-shock-absorber_p4509312.htm Thanks Dave.

Mr B Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demondriverdave Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Thanks I'll look at the KYB Ultra SR ones and let you know how I get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demondriverdave Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Finally got to look at the KYB Ultra SR's only to find they are not available for the Forester STi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demondriverdave Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 So I've found some original Subaru shocks for a Forester STi SG5, mine is SG9 will they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
