Default 2008 - JDM Forester SH XT - Imoreza Front control arms compatibility

I wonder if someone can help, if these control arms ( https://www.rivalmotorsport.co.uk/su...i-hatchback-gr) are compatible with a forester SH 2008-2013, the STI aluminium arms are a direct fit from reading on forums the USDM arms are compatible as follows:

-2011-2014”GR/GV”, Aluminum and have pillowball (heim joint) encapsulated in rubber for rear bushing, spacer on top of pillowball is 10mm short of what is needed for the forester, 20126FG001 is the 10mm rear spacer from the non lifted subarus double sided stud and can be used to make up the difference to use these arms.

-2015+ “VA” , Aluminum and have pillowball (heim joint) encapsulated in rubber for rear bushing, spacer on top of pillowball is 10mm longer than the 11-14 STi arms and is correct spacing forester making it a direct fit. The 2015+ WRX share the same front control arm with the STI., It is safe to assume this fitment will carry through until the STi/WRX move to a new platform, AKA body code, at which time we would have to verify fitment.

I asked SuperPro europe and here is the answer:

''Thank you for your email, TRC1058 is not compatible with Subaru Forester SH XT. Check Subaru parts catalogue and Impreza & Legacy has different OEM part number, now this could be the bushes are different hardness and arms are the same, but is also could mean they run a different track.''

So in theory these should fit a 09-13 Forester with the spacer as they fit the 2008-2014 Impreza?
From Subaru Parts I get this for the Forester SH

Part Number: 20202SC014
Supersession(s): 20202SC010; 20202SC011; 20202SC012; 20202SC013

And from looking around the Impreza G4 2011-2016 has the following part numbers for the control arm: 20202SC000 20202SC002 20202SC010, 20202SC011 20202SC012 20202SC013, 512-50399R 512-50400L CMS801051

So I'm assuming it's a fit then?

And from the JDM Subaru Parts website the part number I'm getting for my Vin is also compatible with Subaru Impreza WRX STI GRE GVE , is GRE the same as the GR listed on the Superpro Europe as compatible ?

The car is a JDM the control arms are for european models and the impreza models I'm comparing to are USDM ......sort this mess out then ....
