only one that wont fit your car is from the my05 widetrack sti.

sti shocks and springs will be slightly stiffer

I personally think it would be a waste of money fitting sti suspension, coilovers are cheap even bc etc seem to have good feedback from people on here. Prodrive springs are another good option my Wrx seems to drive well with springs and a new ARB front and rear.

as said above, id go for coilovers, i have an sti and the coilovers on it now are a far better ride and height adjustable.
i think the ride height is the same on wrx and sti suspension and about 10mm lower with prodrive springs.
if your trying to save a bit of money lower prodrive springs would be a good option

witeline arb's are my next buy as ive got them fitted to the vxl bus and it made one hell of a difference

but don't really want to mess with the comfyness of the ride but just stiffen it slightly
and not really lower it

Coilovers don't have to lower it, the standard Subaru suspension has a habit of knocking. I would still go with a good set of coilovers then you can set the ride to how you want it!
