Normally, that's what I go by also. But you also have to take into consideration the STI's front diff. The helical diff won't work as well if one of the front tires is off the ground. Then it just becomes an open diff i believe.
I would get matching springs and matching adjustable sway bars, and set the front to soft and the rear to firm.
Currently I'm running 7k/7k with 22mm fsb and a 25mm rsb, both set to stiff. The rear was a bit lively @ Infineon when the track was wet from rain, but when it was dry the added speed to my turn in/track out was very welcome.

best bang for the buck is a rsb. you can pick up an 09+ sti unit for less than 100bucks. you can use oem endlinks wthout worries, you could have everything you need for 150 and that a 18mm rsb. most companies sell a 19 for 200. find a used one for 20-60 bucks and see how you like it. if more is needed just resell it, somone will buy it.
