WR1 Owners Club

Hi all,
I would like to put the standard rear dampers back on my car (pink ones), to keep it as original as possible. Can anyone tell me if they are just sti dampers with prodrive springs on them?. I will keep a look out for someone changing their dampers for after market ones. I have had a couple of sets to bits already, so don't mind if they have "failed".
Any info, or anyone have an old pair they might want to sell, let me know.

cheers,

Mark

Rear dampers/shocks were red !!!!! dont forget the wr1 bumpstops are different to sti


Would fit a set of coilovers rather than return to the prone o.e shocks

I understand what you are saying about the coilovers but to be honest, I want to keep as original as possible. I will keep a lookout for a pair of sti ones.

These are original ones from my WR1 - sold but pt nos may help.

I am all for keeping the car as standard but the standard WR1 shocks are frankly rubbish in terms of how long they can last for. I would think a car fitted with coilovers would be more attractive to a buyer than the standard inferior part. I haven't fitted coilovers yet but from I gather from those that have you can set them so they feel no different from the original set up.

Cheers for all the ideas and advice, and for the pic's & part numbers.
I'll have a think on what I wan't to do.

We will have a chat on Tuesday Mark, Carl has the originals fitted and I have the BC coilovers, see what you think.

looking forward to it Steve,

Got a pair of standard shocks taken off at 35k for sale if any use?
