Otherwise $185 for fitting sounds alright, I did mine at home but it ended up taking me a while because I couldn't crack one of my rear bolts and rounded it, but an angle grinder fixed that.

HSD are fine, few people around here use them. American Dave is one that I know of, and myself too. I went for 7kg springs (8kg stock) to take some of the harshness out and I have no complaints. I have had one issue of the fronts adjusting themselves slowly but that is just the lock ring not being tight enough, I'll get some lock tight for that next if it still isn't tight enough.

I paid $1350 for my set so $1450 isn't too bad.
Thanks mate, price wise sounds all pretty good.. are the Liberty and Impreza parts the same? i know there is a fair amount of interchangeability (is that a word??) but also, you need a bit of knowledge to know when things don't fit...

The distance isnt the issue for going to see him, i do over 200km a weekend for my work a a newspaper photographer... i just wanted to avoid loading up the bub and all the paraphernalia to get no answer, or a sorry mate, cant help.

He's calling me back with the model number so i can look em up this afternoon ( hopefully) and if they look the goods, i'll pop in there and let him check out the car and then place the order
