Rear lateral links: Not sure. I do know that GC and wagons use the same rear lateral links, while the sedans use something different. (Different RSB mounting point.)
Front Control arms from the STi should fit on the GD's. I think a friend's control arm went out on him and people said that he might as well get the STi aluminum ones. Just as cheap or something.
Sway bars. Can go on any Subaru. Not sure about '08, though. It might require you to move the endlinks from inside to outside, vice versa, or a combination of both. FSB is a different story. For earlier GC and GM models, they may not clear the headers.

rear brake calipers fit but the rotors will not. you'll need to get STI rear hubs as well, or the super expensive conversion rotors that are designed to fit the stock hub/e-brake assembly and the brembo caliper.

I figure they are slightly different but not by much. I don't know exactly.
Yes, 04 STI struts fit all 5x100 GD imprezas.
