Need new solution for evo IX struts and shocks

Hey guys,I am selling my impreza and going to daily drive the evo after I get a set of snows for it,but the little I drive it during the good months the stock KYB struts kill my back and pound my kidneys to the point I have to **** after driving it like 10 miles...I want a solution to this problem,I can do the work myself so thats not an issue...I am looking at picking up a set of Bilstein from tire rack or one of the online shops are these the same that the MR comes with from the factory? I need something that doesnt murder my body on connecticut roads like the KYB's do
thanks for any help

Get the Bilsteins....they'll do the trick.

The ones off tirerack (and the ones we sell) are not the same as the MR ones but they're close. Very good.

If you find a good set of MR Bilsteins used you can save some money but it's nice to buy shocks new.

Bilstein HD's for sure. Very nice on the street.

^ +1 Get the HD's. OEM MR's are over 2,500k for the set while great struts the HD's are your best bang for the buck or if you can find a low mileage set of unmolested MR's. Contact AWD Motorsports Mike always has the inside line on used parts.
