Could be adjustable dampers. Is there not a **** on the top of the struts that you can turn? Or maybe a small nut at the top of the strut at the top of the main shaft(about the main strut nut)? I think the Japanese aftermarket suspensions can be very hard.

Sounds like you've got KYB adjustable dampers. I had them on my MY96 WRX when I got it, but I've now changed to AVO coilovers.

The KYB fronts are top adjustable, just use a small screwdriver to turn the adjuster (I used position 1). The rears should also be adjustable (4 different settings) via a **** at the bottom of the strut. You should be able to reach it without having to remove the wheels. Hope this helps.
