TBH it's a long way from you (and me !)
The gear can be had from loads of places, and a couple of hours labour plus full geometry set-up and it's sorted.
I'm too far away to recommend, but someone must be nearer....

P.S. I'd budget for drop-links as wel !

I would have thought with this type of upgrade the fitting/setting up is as important as the parts themselves. Powerstation and Mocom have had a lot of fantastic feedback from customers who have had this type of upgrade done - they're the two companies I will be looking at to get my suspension sorted.

IMHO it doesn't really work like that, whatever is the outcome of Zak's advice and your handling needs will be your 'stage 1+' Pricing wise Mocoms are really good value and the bottom line is he will never sell you anything you don't need When I had my first subaru Zak could have filled his pockets with the list of mods I thought I needed. Trusting his advice I have saved lots of money on unecessary mods and ended up with a car which was more suited to me than a more modified car that didn't fit the bill. Your in good hands and his banner can be found in the ESC club area

I don't think they are a large outfit, but from what I've read on here they are very busy. I too left an email some days ago reference alignment with no reply.
I guess you just have to keep on phoning until somebody is in the right time, right place.

Been their and done that when I owned a Newage UK STi. PowerStation installed this very same package on the car and it totally transformed it in my opinion. I recommend to everyone that asks, that this is one of the best/cost effective mods you can do to any Scoob!

Nail hit squarely on head!
A number of people I have spoken to recently seem to think suspension is the way forward initially. Whilst different suspension can make a lot of difference, I always suggest this handling kit first...... for many people, this will give them what they require.

The stiffness of the ARB. They will ask you what you want to use the car for and set it accordingly. You can adjust it yourself though afterwards, should you wish to... but you will have to get your hands dirty!
Have fun!!

Have a GOOD talk with Curtis at Powerstation and he will give you several choices and tell you what each will do to the car.
You will not regret your choice of parts and installer.
