Anyone know of a good garage to fit suspension parts and then perform a precision alignment in hertfordshire/cambridgeshire?

Fit it yourself!!

Try Power Engineering (Power Engineering: Subaru Tuning for your Impreza, Turbo, WRX, STi, 22B or P1) in Uxbridge, depends on where you are in Herts. Could also try Mocom (http://www.mocomracing.com/default.asp).

The allen head on my old struts cracked, but as I was binning them it wasn't too much of a problem.

Also get a breaker bar to undo the nuts.

If you struggle, PM me I'm only down the road in Bushey Heath and I did mine about 8-9 months ago.
