He means that the front struts are different between STi and WRX.

STi has struts to fit 114.3 pcd hubs /hub carriers
WRX has struts to fit 100 pcd hubs /hub carriers

again each to there own , Tein basics work well on my wagon , BC work well on my foz , peddlers if you want a standard replacement , they do an easy fit kit , is it not worth doing all four if fronts are worn you will be surprised by the improvement , tein is about 505£ to your door , no damping adjustment but height adjustable and fairly easy to fit

Which coilovers did you go for?
Be nice to see how you get on with them and how the car drives when you fit them if you can let us know please
