Default What's your opinions of East Kent Subaru for engine builds and tuning ?

Ive got the option of an Sti Hatchback that's had an engine build done by East Kent Subaru, its been forged, closed decked and has the 14mm head studs. With being in the North West i have no experience of them, how are they regarded for engine builds and tuning work in the south ?

It’s so important that a car has been worked on by a reputable company...I fckin love the Joshua tree...the album not the person although I’m sure he’s a good guy...where the streets have no name 👍👍👍👍👍
