Wagon suspension advice

I have an 07 2.5i wagon and am looking to autocross it. Ive been looking at a bunch of things for a while and i think ive come to my ideal setup.
For now...
Crucial Springs
22mm Whiteline FSB
22-24mm Whiteline RSB
F&R Whiteline heavy duty endlinks
Whiteline rear hard mounts
Later on...
Helix DNA's
bushing kit
Whiteline lateral links
STI trailing arms

I was just wondering if the springs and sway bars had made sense working together. Its a daily so i dont want something so stiff that you can feel a fallen down leaf, but stiff enough to actually grip.
Thanks

What you have going looks pretty decent. I suggest a 24-26 RSB, heavy duty rear Sway mounting kit(WHite Line). FSB looks good. Pass on the DNA's. Instead consider JDM Pinks (wagon specific) springs and Koni inserts, Top it off with some group n strut tops. Take a look at your lateral links, you may already have aluminum links in the rear. If not pick up the STi sealed pillow ball guys. Trailing arm bushings, save yourself some coin.

I ran this setup on my '05 wagon. It will not disappoint. I am so happy with it, I'm taking it off the WRX and slapping it on my new Forester.

Those Crucial springs will work great on your wagon.
I ran those on mine with the stock struts for over a year before I added the Koni stut inserts. I absolutely love the setup.
I'd def go with the crucial springs over the pinks.
