What years of Impreza Coilovers/Struts & Springs fits on my BE without any modifications.

Found a set of Cusco Coilovers Impreza 93-01.

none of the impreza suspension fits 98(00usdm)+ legacy since they change to a multi link setup.

Im looking for some comfy yet sporty suspension setup. I need the struts atleast cuz when i went of the road in january the left front strut got a leak.

how much does this lower the car, and how much does it stiffen up the ride?

New (08+) Impreza stuff might work since the Impreza switched to a multilink in the rear for that gen, but I can't confirm whether it actually fits or not.

Bilstein B6 Sport - 967$ USD
Bilstein B8 Sprint - 1030$ USD
Bilstein B14PSS - 1622$ USD

Im thinking ill get the B8's with some STi springs and new Tophats.
Can someone with suspension knowledge tell me wether or not it's a good choise for an allrounder?

Let me guess what the difference is:
Bilstein B6 Sport - 967$ USD - OEM replacement
Bilstein B8 Sprint - 1030$ USD - heavy duty OEM replacement
Bilstein B14PSS - 1622$ USD - coilover strut

Bilstein shocks are great to get - the middle option sounds fine. $1000 for a set of shocks sounds expensive though!

Well, here it's cheap for the B8's
Askingprice at Bilstein is 698€ Euro about 896$USD 100Bucks more delivered at my door.
If i where to get it throug a dealer i would have to pay about 1120$ With taxes/VAT and whatnot.

Edit: I also live in Norway, one of the worst places to be a car enthusiast. It costs atleast 3250$ to get a license, 244$ for the cheapest car. 490$ for the registration of the car a year, and about 1600$ for the insurance witch is mandatory. Thou the price fluxuates depending on age and car.
