Oil change, gearbox oil change and rear diff oil change are all fairly simple jobs, probably around 1 hours labour plus cost of fluids and filter at most garages, wouldn't need to be Subaru specific for these items.

Discs and pads are a bit of a mine field on an Sti. Brembo callipers can be a nightmare if mounting bolts snap or you end up destroying the threads in the callipers themselves with seized bolts. I have known Subaru specialists to avoid quoting a basic disc and pad change because it could range from a simple 1 hour job to a 4 hour nightmare if the callipers require work for damaged threads.

Clutch and fly wheel is probably 6-8 hour job, some specialists opting to remove the engine rather then dropping the gearbox. Expect around £60/hour plus price of a new clutch and flywheel £400+. Also recommend changing the main crank shaft seal whilst at it for £10 more...

Suspension mods and alignment all depends on what mods you are after, again nuts and bolts can be your biggest pita on a Scoob.

Garage recommendations all vary, many opting for SMD in Newhaven who know their way around a Subaru.
