Yesterday I received 1 long bolt, 1 short bolt, 2 locking nuts, 4 thick washers, 2 medium washers and 2 thin washers, then this morning I received another long bolt and another long bolt, is this correct for a 03WRX? or have I been sent the washers by accident?

I received two bolts today - one long & one short but I would have thought that they would have been high tensile 10.9 or 12.3 strength bolts instead of normal 8.8 strength bolts. 
Plus still not received the missing bolt set for my battery clamp.

Your battery clamps bolts were sent with those bolts? please check the package again ,.
There in no need for them to be high tensile, they are only bolting spacers in place ,
see instructions rich has done so far

Try this http://www.southwalessubaru.co.uk/cdf/CDFALK.pdf scoobynet doesn't like long urls.
As soon as I get my spacers I'll add the final pics.

I have plenty of pics here aswell, I just didn't want to overload the instructions with images. If anyone need to see anything from another angle then let me know.

But I now have another set of spacers/bolts/nuts which were in with the delivery today, are these duplicates or are they required as well?

i phoned up and purchased on wed. approx 3pm
recieved via TNT on thur. approx 10am
fitted on fri. afternoon
would like to thank chris for the prompt delivery and overall quality of the product.
only snags i encountered whilst fitting that were not highlighted were
1. the drivers side would not line up correctly. no matter how we pushed and pulled, loosened surrounding bolts etc we were always about 2mm shy. main worry was shearing the bolt thread on hole, or worse still, the thread on the bolt insert hole. SOLUTION- we simply filed the guide holes on opposite sides approx 1mm, allowing a slight amount of movement to allow safe unrestricted tightening.
2. on re-attatching the bar to chassis, the first bolts with the block on would not go straight in due to a plastic guard being in the way. SOLUTION- cut it away!
my car is an 06 sti so anyone else that may encounter this it is solveable without worry. just a slight modification of a modification. lol. thanks again chris and all involved at CDF. very happy with product with a noticeable improvement. Lee.

You're lucky with 1.5 hours. I have spent 2.5 hours fitting just the drivers side bracket, with the scoob off the road for over a week. It's all fitted now and after the alignment tomorrow I'll be motoring happy!!!
