I believe the top hats are the same the difference between the 05STi and 02 WRX would be the lower bracket that attaches to the spindle on the front. I beleive the rears are the same.

correct. 05 and up STis have inverted struts. since you have the hub and everything else, i "believe" it will work but youll need 05 rear tophats.
