Default Best price for Bilsteins in UK - where ?

Morning, just been to see my local Subaru dealer about the clunking and general poor handling of my MY02 STi.

I'd previously had a 4 wheel alignment carried out to fix the tendency of the car to pull dramatically to the right when accelerating but after a few days the problem returned.

We checked the rear dampers this morning by kneeling on the boot sill and an almightly clunking suggests that they are shot. The mechanic took me outside and explained that the Subaru ones were to be avoided at all costs as he's replaced 3 or 4 sets on some cars.

He suggested that I get Bilsteins for the rear but just as he was about to tell me the model and where to get them his boss appeared !

So, can anyone point me in the direction of the cheapest UK supplier of Bilsteins suitable for a MY02 WRX STi. I've had a look on Google but I'm not too sure what I'm looking for . . . .

cheers

Phil

You may find BC coilovers an easier choice (financially !)

Have been in Frosty's car and they are very good, supple and yet controlling body roll extremely effectively.
