If its the first defo grab the coilovers if the 2nd.. you would be better of with a new set of shocks (some kyb's are fine) eibach lowering springs + some whiteline droplinks and 2 pairs of camber adjustment bolts (all this is cheaper than coilovers and will last you) that with a good fast road geometry setup is unbeatable on the uk roads,
hope this helps.

when I did my wagon about 8/9months back i bought all 4 for £410 from camskill. belive they sell the eibach (P1) springs drop links and camber adjustment bolts aswell , had my geometry done by rich @FB tuning
.
The difference that made from standard tired old STI suspension was truly night and day and transformed the car.
can look at pics in my garage to see the subtle drop (its about 15/20mm tops)

Interesting topic. I've got Cusco coilovers that came on mine from Japan. I get a bang sometimes when hitting bumps at anything above 30mph. The car doesn't sit low though. Looks about standard.
Not going to be doing track time at all in the wagon so hmn..
