Sorry, I can't help with the coils, but I've got the same diff inserts to put in, as well as the chassis inserts; however ,I noticed my jdm hatch had an insert only on the left diff bush when it was imported. I've just watched some aussie hatch tuning vids fitting Whiteline kit, where the guy said that they only fitted the insert on the left bush, to prevent vibration, and that seemed to be a Whiteline finding. The Whiteline importers in Scotland are very helpful and may be able to confirm that.
Yes the alloys are knackered I’ve given up on them tbh lol
hopefully get some of these soon
Anyway here’s some pics of the coils fitted
I’ve set them up with 4mm preload like people recommend , unsure about my other settings atm running the rear a bit softer than front atm , if anyone else is running Bcs would be interested to know what settings your running

Sorry hedgecutter for some reason it deleted my reply to your comment , your 100% right , two go directly on the left had side of the cradle as the right already has a solid bush so no real void to fill

Can anyone recommend a decent brake pad for a hatch ?. Got brembos on there currently and I hate them. Was thinking maybe some redstuff!. Not running massive power either.

These are the brembo sport HP2000 pars. A better up grade than the STD ones I've been told.

Been trying to find someone in Hampshire that can do a fast road race alignment on my car , so hard to find anyone who can do improved alignment , even details online are hard to come by ,
I ended up coming across TFS they know Subaru’s and most of you should’ve heard of them .. it’s booked in at TFS racing in Andover on Monday .
So they can adjust the suspension, and alignment etc , was going to get the car cornerweighed , but pointless until I get rear camber adjustment ,
Hopefully going to run similar settings to these which I found on another forum but ideal settings for a lowered hatch ,
• -2.5 ~ -3 deg caber front with roughly half on the rear ,
• reset the front caster with the adjustable bushes back to a maximum of 7 deg
• zero toe all round
should make a significant difference , what alignment settings do you guys run , I hear you need to run quite a bit more negative camber on the front , because of the mcpherson strut set up , roll the weight onto the outside edge when cornering which is bad and increases understeer

I found zero toe at the front made the car feel a bit loose, steeringwise. Peter Cambridge, ex Prodrive and Bilstein, set mine up with a tad of toe in at the front, max camber on front, no adjustment of camber available on rear. I travelled from Hampshire to Warwick for that!!

ive not rued them , but tfs is the most local to me , and that’s where the jgm car stays now .. rip ... and they’re very knowlagable have built a few race cars etc ,, but when it’s corner weighing time think I’m going to go to Horsham developments they’re the most local to me and seem really good , although specialising in nissans

How far are you from Chevron at Stafford?
They do the set up you'd require.
Google them.

I have total confidence that TFS will do a great job they’re well know in the Subaru comuntity and just a bit old school , shame I never knew how close they where before , but like previously mentioned I just can’t justify traveling an extra 2hrs just for somebody to do exactly the same thing ..
when i get so rear camber adjustment , I will be getting the car corner weighed at either , abbey motorsport or Horsham developments , I’ve read before that a ,51-49 balance is achievable with 22mm arbs front and rear so I’m eager to get some rear lower arms and get that done but all in good time 😬 , will keep updated on my journey
