Thank you - Yes she's riding a bit high but as the photos were taken not long after fitting and the car had been on axle stands for a week it's possible that the suspension has not settled yet - will go for a drive soon and see if it settles down a bit.
I'm reluctant to change the suspension as I need fairly decent clearance to do my job which often involves 4 adults in the car as well - not too mention paying good money for a new suspension to replace one that currently works fine.

Thank you and no - I live in France near Le Mans and get away with things like that - I'm also quite well known by my local Gendarmes and don't abuse the system (I don't speed through the radar cameras, etc.) and even helped get a drunk driver off the road the other week, awesome stuff to have a 3 motorcycle police riders escorting me in my Scooby at speed on our way to stop the drunken fool

I've been trying to compare the height in my photos to those of a standard WRX and those of when I bought mine - don't think there's too much difference so I guess I'll have to keep the "Monster Truck" look as it probably won't settle too much more - doesn't bother me to be honest.
For anyone interested here's some before and after photos. All cosmetic (spoiler, splitter, rear lights, wheels, mud flaps, plates and a decent clean....roof spoiler to come), happy with the engine as it is. I'm not trying to pretend it's a STi - if I wanted an STi I would've bought one, I just wanted to improve the look of my WRX - in my humble opinion of course.

Also to be honest I don't really want to pay to replace the suspension when the original one works fine - the wheel gap really doesn't bother me.
The Impreza is supposed to be a rally car, at least I thought it was

Is it a generic disorder you have or did you have to take lessons to be this obnoxious? Second thoughts given the lack of spelling and grammar I guess it's a generic disorder and I apologise for criticizing your handicap.
