Will fit '02-'07 as long as you use the '04-'07 tophats (at least on the rear, I think the Bugeye fronts are the same).
My car is a Forester, but here are a couple. I had 1/2" strut spacers in the back (Forester's *** is heavier).
I don't want to sell these springs as I like them alot, but I need to quit hording suspension parts and share the JDM goodness with the rest of the community.

hey stan-another typical "will it fit" question- you say they will fit 02-07 if you use o4-07 tophats. is that the same for an 05 wagon? than I would also need spacers to help with saggy butt? also your forester looked tight sitting on these!!

These should fit on an '05 wagon using the stock tophats -- they are same as the '04-'07 STi tophats. This may be too much spring for the stock Impreza struts though. These do follow the classic Subaru "rear gap less than front" tendency, which is good for handling but may look weird to some.
These did look good on a Forester, I just got tired of scraping my driveway every day. They are nice springs though, one of my favorites out of the ones I've tried.

$250 for getting lower and stiffer sounded sweet-but adding in $ for upgraded struts is a little out of the ballpark for me right now. If I can stay out of the bar to save some cash and you still have them next payday I will be all over these!! Do you think KYB GR2s or Koni inserts in gutted Wagon Struts would be a good match? I hear they are a way to go as to not loose negative camber.

Koni inserts in gutted struts certainly would work, I ran those for about 3 years and it was nice. You could get even fancier and use the Forester rear strut bodies for the inserts -- perches are 1/2" higher and camber should be similar to wagon struts. I did that for a while, but ended up with -2 of camber on the rear, which was too much (Forester's wheels are spaced out like the sedan's, not wagon's).
Some people do run springs with these rates with either stock WRX struts or GR2s.. It may get pretty bouncy though with the damper not being able to control the spring, but I've never tried it so don't know for sure.
