Big thanks to NAD @ http://www.naduk.co.uk

Ok so it took a while but got it all done including replacing a front inner tie rod - (total ballache with no access to the inner ball joint).

Suspension components used:
Bilstein B8 fronts - Hallie
Bilstein B6 Rears - Hallie
Spec B springs Front & rear - ICP
Subaru OE top mounts - ICP
Rear spring seats - ICP

Reused - original (112k miles) Front spring seat & rear top mounts.

Ride heights (not settled yet will remeasure in a couple of weeks)

Front
Before 375mm centre to arch
After 380mm centre to arch
Difference +5mm

Rear
Before 335mm centre to arch
Rear 350mm cetre to arch
Difference +15mm

Car looks slightly higher but is sitting much more level and actually looks like it's sitting much better. The Geo settings are slightly more aggressive than OE and give a really nice turn in car feels much more pointy (Coupled with White-line rear ARB on stiffest setting)

Alignment was carried out with ballast in the car to simulate driver weight
