Default Best place to get it gone!

Just popped some new 18" wheels on the car and had planned to drop the car by about 30mm after Christmas but i cant leave it for that long, it doesnt quite sit right or feel right (probably a little paranoia). So, can anyone suggest a place i can get the springs and geometry sorted. I have thought about Powerstation but its a long way to go, so is there anyone you would recommend that is closer? I live between Cardiff and Swansea. And finally, would i have any trouble with clearance, dropping the car onto 225 18's, its an 06 WRX?
Cheers everyone,
Ian

it has to be powerstation - it's only 45 mins from cardiff. I've got a set of eibach springs that have only done about 6000 miles and full sti struts, could be pursuaded to sell if they will fit your car. You shouldn't have any clearence issues in the arches, though if you decide to get a front splitter you will need to be a bit careful with curbs etc

I'm not sure if Rob (pippyrips) still has his shocks and springs for sale but they might be an option for you

That sounds pretty good to me, i was going to track your down on Sunday anyway to take a look at your exhaust system, we can have a chat about it then if you like. As for a splitter, i am going to fit one, i have been trying to drive the car as if i already have one so that i dont end up learning the hard way !
What year are the parts from, i will check with Powerstation if they will fit.
Cheers!
