Yeah i'm doing the same mate. They are VERY expensive (as are all Subaru parts) but everyone i've talked to only have praise for them; in terms of handling ability and ride quality.
I didn't want to drop the car too low, as i have a lip, so they should be perfect. I also plan to get some hardended top mounts too.

I obviously haven't used any aftermarket springs, but a couple of guys i know rate the H&R springs very highly. Decent lowering, quiet, and great handling suitable for both the track & street.

Yeah I agree, I don't want my car to be too low and with the ride quality uncomfortable.

BTW I love that front lip, it's very cool

They do look awesome. Yeah I have been eyeing them off since I got the First STi accessory sheets. Around $700 aren't they?

im getting 280hp at all 4 out of the stock management with stock turbo

cant think of a better 12 second daily driver.

Yeah that is a good alternative. I am not sure that my mate or I would want to test the 06 STi with 20 psi, it maybe a little too high with the semi forgies.
