Hi there..have posted an update re KYB shocks

Hi there, just thought i would post that following the purchase of 4 KYB shocks 3 months ago i had problems with the rears especially the N/S......found out today i was sent the wrong shocks as the thread at the top (where it goes through the top mount) is about 6mm short hence tightening is difficu...

just in case anyone is looking at KYB's latest appears to be that the threaded part at the top of the shock is to short (on mine anyway) by about 1/4 inch so it can't be tightened on the top mount!!!! checking to see if a spacer/washers will work and also ringing the KYB supplier in the morning to s...

Right off to Constitution tomorrow who have ordered a new top mount ready to fit (well i hope they have!!) if it is that causing the problem which i hope it is....car has done nearly 100k and has had the std shocks replaced that side twice as is the usual case on this model so maybe they weaken the ...

Hi there, i have a "solid" knocking from the N/S rear on my 2003 STI.....i have recently replaced all shocks (KYB's) so its not the usual problem.......just wondering if the top mounts are known to wear etc or if anyone has experienced any similar problems...Many thanks........

i've done just over 900 miles in the Scoob this week and the only hold up was a non snow related accident on the M6.....maybe i was just lucky but there was nothing that caused concern on the main roads....

unfortunately i have a near side rear shock gone anyway so need to replace the rears so looking at alternatives other than coilovers..cheers

Hi there, might seem a strange question but is there a decent aftermarket shock that would go on my 03 STI...i don't want to lower the car as the front lip will last about an hour or stiffen it up as i am happy with std settings plus i do approx 700 miles a week in it....just wondered if there is a ...
