joshk3y Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) I have a 99 obw rebuild project and the struts are shot I wanna replace them with something more beefy then the original stock ones. I was thinking the stock struts off of an STI, or the forester, any ideas? Is there any that will bolt in? or any tips or things that have worked, thanks Edited August 11, 2011 by joshk3y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 STI struts are shorter. Forester struts might be shorter as well, I don't recall offhand. Regardless, they're no better than OB struts. Lots of people here recommend KYB GR2 struts. There are some performance aftermarket struts out there, but they are generally very $$$.

Rooster2 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I have been happy with KYB GR2 struts that I have put on several cars. They are gas charged, so firmer then OEM, without being harsh. Cost is reasonable too, and they last a long time. I think you will be happy with the performance. EZ to find for sale on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need in putting KYB AGX's on this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
