Ok guys my subaru MY03 sti has developed a knock from the rear end i am planning to investigate over the holidays but i think it maybe the rear suspension saying it has had enough .

Anybody have any good/bad recommendations/experiances on what replacement options are available to me .

This will be for mainly road use with the occasional trackday .

many thanks

jason we just fitted a set of teins to one before i broke up for xmas

theres plenty of cheap coilver options but i still consider tein to be one of best for money

rear shocks seem to be a commen issue on scoob's

everyone of my subaru's (albiet classics) all had nsr suspension failure
if your going coilover route then i think bc are worth a try, coud not fault them on the pulsar plus i found they adjusted better than the couple of sets of teins i had (softer settings)
its a minefield

I had the Eibach Pro Streets on my classic. They were well made as they were all stainless steel but they were a little on the hard side for the road. I've got the BC racing inverted coilovers on the Evo and so far they have been spot on.

I've lost count of the NSR shocks i've replaced for our customers (it's a real problem on newage scoobs). It usually starts with a knocking noise followed by the shock dumping it's oil out and then the spring snaps due to a lack of damping force offered by the shock.
I've fitted quite a few sets of BC's (i also use them) and find them to be superb value for money + they have enough settings to use for a comfortable daily drive to a hardcore session on track.
