'06 STi's are still running for at least $15,000, I prefer the '05 and the '07 STis though but they're still bloody expensive

Sam,

Pretty sure you will need a press to do it, cant say I have done it myself. Yet. Its not a hard job, just takes a little time.

If you have the right tool for the press, it should be pretty straightforward, yeah.

It's really easy to do. You can get the tool from Autozone, and for the price of the OEM crap ones you should just get the upgraded spherical ones (provided that you have FE5 control arms that is)

Powell or OTTP. I think Powell was the original designer of them and everyone else copied them, but I've always heard that Powell's were the best.
