he has STi springs in the rear and Tein H-Techs up front... reason for this is he has 225 width tires and beyond being happy with the look of the car in the rear already he was concerned with rubbing if he lowered it any more.
the springrates are similar between the two models and he also checked with SubieGal about it... got the green light so we went ahead with it.
Jim also installed some fancy ass H+R camber bolts in the rear so he can go get a nice alignment.
For Jim or anyone else... for a daily driven WRX/STi that you want to handle better in the corners but not increase tire wear, throw the factory alignment specs out the window and aim for: 0 toe all around, -1 to -2 degrees camber in the front and -.5 to -1.5 degrees camber in the rear.

Ash I would look at some wagons with stech's first cause some of the ones I've seen look kinda goofy not like cool low like sedans do.
Plus if you drive agressive.NJ roads suck.
I might look at some 235 for the summer.And since the new OZ's are 17x8
