Default front end knocking my04 sti

I have an UK my04 and have a knocking coming from the front, normally noticed when slowing to a halt on the brakes. Ive had the rear shocks replaced because they were knocking but cant tell if this is the same? Ive had the front roll bar changed and the Anti lift kit fitted. Sometimes you can notice the knocking coming through the steering too, but cant really tell if thats cos im just hitting bumps in the road....

anyone got any ideas or experience of the problem?

cheers in advanced

Sound like to could be the ARB link bushes wearing - did they get replaced with the front end work?
Is there a clonk going over speed bumps as well?

Hard to tell without experiencing, but i've had the front shocks replaced for clonking.

You'll be outta warranty now though.
