Well my garage queen is no longer stock

After having to replace the struts for the 3rd time in less than 2 years and 2400 miles. I ripped one of the rear speakers while removing the rear deck cover. I now have some new Jensens back there so she's out of the stock catagory. Sound pretty good. A little more clarity than the front ones. Definately good for $40 for the pair. Hopefully my "new" 140k struts will outlast the last two sets from Subaru but that isn't too tough a task if I'd put 1000 miles on 'em I'll be there!

The Koni's aren't that good of a strut actually. I had some up front until we put them on our race car. To be honest, I don't miss 'em a bit nor would I ever pay $700 for 'em when Impreza stuff can be adapted and work quite nicely.
