Possible could have a mate going, Teanna, she has an FTO in WRX blue, directed her to make an account on the forum. Anyways she might come along.

The clutch is fine, it just has a noisy thrust bearing. Doesnt slip or anything.

Hmm, I've seen a blue FTO with what looks like white stock rims parked up on Hume St. near my place a few times recently. Is that her, Matt?

Personally, I wouldnt go to all the of the trouble to replace thrust bearing without replacing the clutch as well unless I new for absolute certainty that the clutch was only replaced recently.

Also mate, I think it will be a bit of a stretch doing at the DIY day. I think if I was going to do it. Id rather have all my tools handy and I would also need my engine crane which will not fit in the FTO lol.
