Question lowering a MY04 wagon

I did some searches and I think I got the info correct

I want to lower my 2004 WRX wagon and these are the only options currently (no '04 wagon specific springs/coilovers in the market yet to my knowledge):

1) use 02-03 wagon specific springs or coilovers in combination with 02-03 rear top mounts.

2) use 04 sedan speciifc springs or coilovers using existing top mounts.

What I want to know is

a) am I missing any other options?

b) what am I comprimising by using sedan specific springs (wrong spring rate in the rear)?

c) what am I comprimising by swapping out the 04 rear top mounts with 02-03s?

TIA

You got it from my understanding, but if you find something new out there put it in here, Im interested too and kind of tired of waiting. How hard could it be. Think of the money the first company would make to put one out to the market.

from talking to prodrive...their 04 springs are suppose to be great for both applications...sedan/wagon.

I'll probably go that route or run STi pinks. Unless of course some genious comes out with wagon specific suspension.

I emailed gruppe-s and they said the 04 tein wagon coilovers will be out in a few months.

I guess I'll be waiting...
