...oh and just a heads up, your sig says MY12 Impreza WRX. The WRX is no longer associated with Impreza, its just MY12 WRX.

You have a few options...
  1. lowering springs
  2. adjustable coilovers
  3. custom setups (lowering springs and struts)

Some examples of the above...
  1. Einbach, King Springs, Race Comp Engineering, Tein, Epic Engineering
  2. KW, Ohlins, Cusco, HSD, STD, Tein, Zerosports
  3. GTWorx Bilstein/RCE

Some vendors to have a look at.
ProSpeedRacing
Springs
Coilovers

CarModsAustralia
Cusco
HSD
ZeroSports
Tein


Joe (BALISTC) will be able to help you out in regards to HSD Coilovers.
Mao (Mao from Evolution R) will be able to help you out in regards to STD coilovers.

Thank you for the complete option...

have you had your lowering kit install on yours?

I'll start with lowering spring first.... and take it from there...

More than happy to help.

I've had Whiteline lowering springs in a MY08 WRX and they did the job quite well, ride was pretty good and you could feel the odd large bump in the road.

Had a set of HSD HR coilovers (supplied from Joe) in my current WRX for a little over 18000km, ride height was nice and the coilovers handled quite well, especially on track days.
Did feel bumps in the road a lot more than the stock suspension (most likely due to the spring rates that I chose and the dampening setting I was using).
Coilovers have since been removed and I have a set of GTWorx Bilstein/RCE on the way which should be here in June.
Test drove this combination is another members car and it was a very good setup!
