Default Bike rack for Blobeye Sti

Need a decent roof mounted bike rack for two Mountain Bikes to fit my MY04 Sti.
Any recommendations. Thanks

I've been thinking of this too. Was going to go down the line of the geniune subaru roof bars then get a suitable bike carrier to fit onto them. I would like to get one that hangs from the boot, but I don't trust the tin foil thick boby panels

I didn't fancy the roofrack approach (mpg already low!) so got a towbar fixed and a Thule bike carrier. Can get it easily on and off (but still have the tow ball so nothing's perfect).

Done a bit of digging and ordered a Thule rapid fit aero bar and two Proride 591 cycle racks. Downside is the mpg but didn't really want a tow bar putting on.

Shame I didn't see this thread earlier as I have some Thule roof bars and two Thule tour carriers for sale second hand, would only need new foot pack
