Best coil overs for 02 Forester L

Looking to slam the heck out of my daily driver 2002 Forester L what coilover system will get me the lowest static drop. Also a friend told me if I got a coilover system for an 02 WRX it would fit perfectly on my Forester without any modification and I could go a lot lower is this true. Any help from you guys would be awesome and it's good to be back in a subie again!!

Why just not do like all the other HonDuh guys and cut 2 coils off yer springs? You'll get the same sh!tty handling and save a bunch of money.

Keep in mind that just because they are coilovers it doesn't mean they like to be slammed any more than struts/shocks. They are still dampers after all and nothing takes well to riding on bump stops.
