Not on STI but MY02 WRX. Excellent - on my second set. First lasted about 19k miles (better than OEM Bridgestones).
Softer sidewall, so steering feels less precise around the straight-ahead, but you soon get used to this. Dry and wet weather grip very good indeed, less prone to squeal than OEMs.
Quieter ride than Bridgestones as well.
Came top in the recent Autocar tyre test.

Got them on my SpecC now - great in the wet, above average in the dry (but not as good as my Toyo's were in the dry).
If it's a good price, let me know though - need some new shoes soon

Sti-02 PPP +F1 DG3's
Yes I have them on my Sti - they are my second set and prior to that I had Toyo's.
They are better than the T1s in the wet and have a reasonable wear rate. They do not feel as good as the fabbled Bridgestone S02PPs I had on my old classic but that comparison may not be fair since the classic was lighter had not linited slip diff and no prodrive springs etc.

Just to add another point of view from an ex F1 user 
I Had them on my bug eye STI and loved them in the wet (but who wouldnt after having the crappy OEM Bridgestones on). In the dry they were also an excellent tyre. I changed my tyres about 3000k ago and put on the Pirelli P.Zero Nero's. I will go as far as saying wet weather performance is "as good" as the F1 but dry performance is much better. The Pirelli has a much better "feel" to it . It seems more responsive than the F1 and I also think braking distance is better but that may only be because when I changed them the F1's were worn.
But I wouldnt hesitate to put another set of F1's on.
