Product Details
KYB Strut-Plus SR4648 is built as a complete rear strut and spring assembly for Subaru Impreza applications.

- Excessive bounce or poor rear damping control
- Reduced stability over bumps and uneven pavement

Installation Notes and Tips
Install the SR4648 on the rear of 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza models only.
