Default impreza 2.0d rx suspension upgrade

Hi all I have a 2.0D RX Impreza, this has been to Litchfields for their stage 1 remap. Now I need to upgrade the suspension to cope with the extra power. Scoobyclinic found me a Tein coil over kit that would fit but they (Tein) would not give a warranty because the kit had not been tested on a diesel.

Anybody got any ideas?

I had one and could never find a firmer suspension springs amd always felt it was too soft for me
Great performance with 400nm and 180 BHP
Subaru did not recomend changing springs either so px it for a juke Nismo four years ago

Finally got the Whiteline replacement front & rear roll bars. 20mm rear & 24mm front. The car is transformed! Handling 200% better.

p.s. A big thumbs up to Redranger who sorted out a slight **** up, the replacement front bar supplied by Scoobyorld did not fit, not their fault I must add, it was an error on the Whiteline website. Contacted Whiteline (Redranger) direct the problem was solved within a week, or the time it took to ship the correct bar from Australia.
