ok then I assume they do front struts for L series as well?
what height do they come in? afterall the oem subaru ones have adjustable height.........
any tips on which ones to get? or is there one type only?

Subaru

Maybe the dealers can do deals, as they wouldn't sell many.

Original always the best. I don't know about KYB but I did a new set of Monroes in a three week trip to the Flinders Ranges.

I just bought an 89 Touring Wagon, the possibly original struts are still good after maybe 245000k's

Just my two cents.
