My vote goes to P1 springs and koni adjustables. Very useful on a classic wagon, by using an insert, you can maintain the correct rear suspension geometry. As the rear strut on a wagon is different to a saloon.
Finish off with a front strut extender - perfect.

In my old classic i had the blue eibach prodrive springs & kyb's, the springs where part of the wr sport package and where perfect for uk roads, dropped car 25mm but was a linear spring also. I just wish i could find similar for newage. Got eibachs pro kit and they are disappointing in comparison

I must agree with you bud, had P1 springs and Pro R kit on me new age now, no comparisson... And The Prodrive new age kit is not that better than Pro r kit either, shame the UK market is short of options... Wa sthinking to import Swift springs from US as their have very good reviews but don't think all cost will make it worth doing.... Saving on KW3's...

Ive got Apex springs on my runabout WRX wagon, they are really low but the ride is only slightly rougher than standard. I would highly recommend them as a budget spring

If they lower to low you lose all the good handling characteristics of the subaru chasis..... If you ain't taking your car to the limits i guess their fine, but when you do and gather all the negative affetcs their actually make on your car i'm not sure it's even worth getting them , but everyone's o their own IMO..

I have the Prodrive springs and find them really good for fast road driving. Only lower the car a fraction, nice comfortable ride but stiffer at speed. Problem is finding a set these days.

Next upgrade will be a 22mm Whiteline rear ARB with alloy drop links. This is supposed to help prevent excessive body roll without making the back too skittery, I'll let you know how I go on when fitted.
