Stiffer springs with stock ride height? (02 WRX wagon)

Is there anyone out there who makes stiffer, linear rate springs that maintain stock ride height, or at least close to it? Seeing as how I want to maintain the sleeper look of my wagon, I don't want to slam it down (plus that'd make it harder to go offroad). Any help?

Also, what are some good adjustable struts that would fit with stock ride height?

The pinks are only about a 1" front, .75" rear drop. They are pretty stiff, ride height stays pretty much the same. I've had 'em for a while and I love 'em. Many have said "when are you getting springs?" What's up with the extreme ride height?" As for struts AGX all the way. They are adjustable, and can get pretty stiff.

I have the Whiteline Ground Control springs, and the drop is less than 3/4"; you can't tell the car has aftermarket springs at all unless you park it next to a stock WRX. Sleeper indeed, and quite a bit stiffer than stock (but still comfortable). Oh, and no saggy butt syndrome!

Thanks for the replies. Both springs sound like good options, and I'd heard good things about the AGX struts back when I had RX-7s, so it's good to hear that Subaru owners like them too.

May be a dumb question, but...Are stock strut tops (04 sedan) used with the KYB AGXs? And has anyone used them with 04 USDM STI springs?

The black springs that come with the SPT/STI red struts made for the wagon are designed to give no change in height with an increased rate. Racecomp Engineering sells them separately from the struts for $379.
