    apparently the new shocks he has are narrower underneath and need to be wider up top to fit the forester holes.

    KYB TopHats

    KYB makes some STI OEM replacement top hats, they are fine, I have them in my car now as I used the cobb springs and sooby spacers. They are also pretty inexpensive.
