Stoney, just so you know, a better way to measure the ride height is from the wheel centre to the top of the arch. Otherwise tire pressure causes variations in the measurement.

My 05 is (unlowered (so far)/from wheel centre to arch):

Front= 39cm
Rear= 36cm

Which is standard according to Subaru Workshop Manual +/- 1cm irrc..!
