Only if you have a wagon, it might look like it's sagging because the strut/spring combo is shorter than the factory LGT strut/spring. The STi only has a spring rate of 10 lbs/in more than the LGT wagon, but is 70 lbs more than a sedan. If you have a wagon, get 3/8th's inch spacers just in case.

also, the wheel arches are different in front and back on all second gens, a potential 'ass-sag' on any combo without some spacers.. usually 3/8"

At least with those spring rates and 3/8 spacers at normal static stance it will sit lower in the front geometry wise, but visually, will look even.

 

With that said, it seems under acceleration the suspension geometry would have a neutral feel.

I'm assuming I would have to get longer studs though right?? Unless they have spacers that the top-hat bolts into and then the spacer has it's own studs that go into the chassis.

 

They sell studs too ;)
