It would help if you could find the spring rates for the STI. Chances are they're pretty high, so you won't have to worry much. Someone should compare the gross weight of a 98 Legacy wagon and an 04 STI...

If you're going to install the springs and struts, also compare the bumpstops from either kit.

Thanx for the tip guys..... I make sure to check the bump stops.....

Shorter is always better on the bump stops right?

I'd like to provide for you an emphatic "Hell no" as an answer to your question.
