Do you have a front splitter? Could be the rear spoiler pushing the back end down but the front is lifting slightly! Post a pic

It may be a simple case that you need your wheel alignment re set, also are your tyre pressures ok ?

That will be very marginal, you really need a specialist to do it. Try Indigo GT in Merthyr, Kwik Sh*t will have no idea about Impreza's.
