Tein is good stuff. Just remember every time you change ride height, you get to reallign the car.

Also, due to the terrible suspension geometry on the Impreza(Assuming it hasn't really gotten much better in 05) once you get below about 14" wheel center to fender, you run into excessive positive dynamic camber under cornering, and braking.

This is bad! So bad that Competitive A Stock STI Autocross cars go to the absolute stiffest front sway bar available to minimize this affect despite what one would normally consider way overstiffening the front end. And that is at stock ride height!

The net is lowering an Impreza can actually hurt cornering, so if done for cornering reasons, it needs to be done carfuly in moderation.
