First you need to be aware that a WRX runs about 20mm lower than a UK car, so springs that lower a UK car by 35mm will lower yours by about 15mm.....

Secondly the front suspension geometry strats going screwey once you drop more than about 1" from the stock UK car, so lowering your car will adversley affect handling, as long as you accept you will be lowering it for looks not for 'performance reasons' that is OK!

For how low you want to go, the only ones I know of that will do that are Tein S (for show!) springs.

Personally I would get a set of decent handling springs like the Eibachs, but they won't give you any drop that you'll measure.
