with the correct top mounts the springs will fit
downpipe will fit too just take note that the top O2 sensor might not have a bung

I'm not familiar w/coilovers, but 2004 STi struts were the only year the fronts were a direct fit. The '05+ front bottom bolt holes were changed and won't fit 'as is'. Some have drilled them out to work - that's up to you.

The front tops whould work, but as stated you'll need your rear top hats.....but not sure if coilovers require something 'special'.
