Only struts avail OEM & Koni? Current strut market avail.?
I have been checking, and not having any luck finding any other options. I don't want to go the Koni route.
Gabriel no longer special orders their SVX struts, and has no working inventory. Carquest states they have KYB special order @ 237 a pop ( nuts!), but KYB has no current part numbers. I have sent them an e-mail for clarification. Subaruparts has OE for 129 or so. Somebody said 1stSubaruparts sells them for 99, but their web site lists them at 183 ea., with no second option. Any other products you may know about, please share the info. Thanks, Robar

Try this:
Try abusing (coercing, convicing, etc.) Tokico into producing a run of SVX struts. They have an adjustable series - externally adjustable, that is.

Every other subaru site lists the recommended list price on their website aside from subaruparts (which has the customer service of the USSR IMO) but when you call they give you their price. If you do a little grinding work or have a porta power you can use WRX struts as they're nearly identical in size with just the different hub size and some weirdness up top. Problem is you can't buy a set as the rears are way different, you would just need 2 sets of fronts.

What kind of weirdness up top? Would the WRX struts work if you used the SVX top mounts? Oh and how much grinding/spreading is needed?
Thanks Quote:
