We find that cam and valve wear is pretty negligible with Imprezas, and invariably there is no reason they can't be re used. There may be better alternatives power wise of course, if appropriate.

Example of cylinder head rebuilding.

Rebuild then you can have it the way you want it , arp bolts cosworth hg , if you buy a new one for example from Subaru depending if it's a 2 or 2.5 you could have the chocolate piston issue
