pizza night this thursday is it?
-
well ive found out that there is no suitable aftermarket replacement for the rear shocks on a ver8 sti (they do for wrx but not sti) ive also heard that the standard setup in the ver8 sti is superior to some coil over setups mainly the cheaper stuff! not sure exactly what is ment by that but anyways, and that the best solution is to have them rebuit to bilstein specs as they recon that subaru have made them to a similar spec to the bilsteins!!
so im waiting to hear back from a few places on prices so i guess we will have to see what happens!
was a bit supprising to find out that nobody makes a suitable shock for that perticular model! wonder how many other people with ver 8s know this?

I reckon there will be several companies that make aftermarket susp that will out handle factory stuff...
your most likely right but its the cheaper stuff that i thnk was refured to

to be honest all i would like is to be able to set the ride hight (to what i want then leave it) and to have a similar ride (eg frim but not to frim which it is already firm at the moment!) and thats about it!
im asuming a few prople here have this brand etc so im guessing there a good quality product!
i might pop down to reline today and see whats what

thanks guys for your help and ideas
i might look into the bc adj for the $1500 as i have heard you can replace just the rear shocks with non oem ones for around $800 a set and thats basicly half the price of the whole set of bc adj
so this might sound a little stupid but will the bc adj be an improvement on my standard setup? also is anyone using them and are they any good?
sorry if these are dumb questions!

still thats a full replacment set (4 inc) for less than 2 rear shocks through subaru !!!!
i cant access the paid members section at the moment (they havent updated my membership) but does anyone know what sort of discount we get from them?
-
might have to look into that!
is that price through one of our club sponsors?
-
BC 2 way adjusties for about $2500.. cert $400, allignment $50-$100
lock it and load it...replacement with factory... fark that
that said.. your V8 type ones some times knock in the rear and just need regreasing.. check it out - lotsa threads on here about this very thing.
might cost you nothing.
ive been told thay they are leaking and need replacing
i was amazed at the cost of it! how could they be so expensive!! 3grand ex japan just for 2 shocks
so you recon 3 grand for adjusties is that all 4? as thats quite impressive considering subaru want 3grand just for 2 rear shocks
-
ive noticed the rear shock in my v8 sti is knocking and today found out that they need replacing so ok sweet as!
then i asked how much and then they told me ''$1,500''so thats a bit high but ok its an sti, then he said thats just for 1! i was like what!!! are you kidding and no he wasnt kidding so they want $3,000.00 to replace the rear shocks and thats just parts! so im at the moment working out my options so anyone got any ideas ive got a couple ideas
1, get a price from else where to get aftermarket shocks (im guessing someone must do them for less)
2 find out how much it would cost to get an adj setup and replace the fronts too (which i was told are the same price as the rears for a grand total of 6 grand to replace all 4!!!!)
any help or ideas people

+2 votes for the 22b
is it poss to get better photos of it?
-
it looks fake to me
look at the size of it looks smaller than a mini!!! not a very good rendering
-
Hey got some nicer photos today. Hope you aint on dialup - also hope you aren't the tool in the V8 sti doing 160ish up the onramp going home almost crashing into me < : ( Wasn't happy lol.
Anyway, I have high res of all these if you want them.
the 2 that i think are the your best
(nice rims haha) 17 or 18?
-
ive also got some knocking sounds coming from the rear shocks in my ver8 but havent had them check out to see if there had it!
my car has done about 62,000km and from what ive been told the rear shocks are known to have a short life! so i am worried from the price of the front shocks that the rears are going to be just as bad!
-
any idea on when this will be happening? (dates or is it to early)
-
i voted taupo as i think its a better setup there!
-
maybe a mass email to members letting them know about it?
