Hello everyone and apologies if this has been covered in depth already. 
 
	I am after some advice. A while ago a rear strut failed so rather than replacing one unit I decided to give a set of coilovers a go. 
 
	While this certainly transformed the handling of the car, the set in question (Spax RSX) have always given a very harsh ride. I appreciate there is always a compromise for the performance but for me the knocks and bangs are far OTT for everyday road use. 
 
	I have now decided to take them off and I need to decide whether to buy an OEM kit and go back to original OR (and this is where I hope someone can help) are there other coilover brands for similar OEM money that still provide improved handling without suffering a boneshaking ride. Ideally I'm not looking at spending more than £1000.
 
	As a side note, does anyone know where I could get hold of an OEM kit? I'm not having much luck. 
 
	CAR: 2004 Impreza WRX with PPP (non STI)
 
	Thank you for taking time to read this post, any suggestions welcome.
