lowering springs are fine...coilovers if your going to track your car
dont bother with a dump valve, but HKS if you must
Blitz NurSpec or STi Genome exhaust

as for power what is it..wrx or sti?

all in my own opinion btw

Which year are you going for?
A 99/00 car will have a mappable ecu, prior to that they wont, for 300bhp you will need an uprated turbo, you should be able to push about 270bhp with supporting mods on a uk car.
