Are you sure, the bug STi had inverted suspension.... the Prodrive WRX springs were blue and the Prodrive STi springs were red.

I don't think they will fit, Prodrive make 2 seperate kits with 2 different prices and part numbers for the STI and WRX

i had bugeye STI springs fitted to my bugeye wrx without any problems whatsoever (the springs were fitted onto my wrx shocks though) so i guess its the shocks that differ.

i've got both a set of bugeye wrx and sti springs sitting in my garage if anyone wants them.

yes i think so, but its pretty marginal - i guess they lower it by 10-15mm at most. Handling is better, bit firmer and less roll but without any less comfort over potholes and stuff. i came to the conclusion that the wrx springs were rubbish
