I have the Ver 8-9 STI Spec C suspension in my WRX '03 and the difference from standard STI are the front shocks and all four springs!
Bear in mind spec C is lighter than the normal STI and close to WRX weight.
In my car with Prodrive springs (for STI) it made HUGE difference and although most people believe front spec C struts are harder I believe they are softer than the European STI.
I don't think they are suitable for your car mainly due to weight distibution front to rear but I am not expert, my car is almost the same NVH wise with a standard STI '03 and rides better on A roads but this is result of better matched springs (Prodrives) with the shocks IMO.

Castor angles and wheelbase are different too, due to different TCA's. Castor angle probably makes the biggest diff

Cheers guys...


Decided... going for the Eibach springs with drop-links, front and rear AR-bars and antilift...
That should basiclay give a top result!
