Default 2007 sti rods into a 1995 wrx

hi have just been given a set of conrods from a 2007 sti 2.5lt impreza is it true that they are much stronger than my standard rods in my 1995 wrx?(am rebuilding the engine at mo) if so i will fit them, the stroke is the same in the 2.0lt as the 2.5lt so should fit with no issues.
thx

Yes they are a direct fit, both rods should be 130.5mm centre's, & much stronger than the early stud & nut type rods.
The stroke is diffrent 2.0 75mm, 2.5 79mm but the rods are the same.
