For replacement Shocks try here...
Graham Walker Ltd (http://www.grahamwalker.co.uk/KYB%20Suspension.htm)
I ordered a set of 4 as I have them knocking like mad on the rear and front now.. ordered Friday and arrived today! - p&p was only £8
KYB are the company that make them for Subaru... only difference is these ones for the STI are gold instead of Subaru red....
Good complany to deal with...

They seem very reasonably priced from what i hear about Subaru prices! LOL.
Do the STi ones fit the WRX? I would think as long as the year matches i should be ok? The STi are a bit firmer i think.

ive just had some KYB ULTRA SR shocks fitted on my wrx (bugeye) these are the equiverlent of the STi shocks,much fermer ride and alot less roll in the corners.
got them from here KYB Shock Absorbers - Sutton Auto Factors (http://www.autospares-group.co.uk/shock-absorbers.php) £370 all in
i have just inquired about these also KYB ULTRA SR , 375 quid with a 5% discount too, no to bad as i live just around the corner ...
but the group buy coilovers have put a smile on my face , cheap prices up to what else is out there, so thats a plus.
