Wagon butt sags with new STI BBS

Just put on some new STI BBS with the 225s on my 03 Wagon.

Now there's a noticeable fender gap difference between the fronts and the rear. Basically...there's about a 2 finger width clearance in the rear and more than 4 finger width clearance in the front. I have stock suspension. Is this normal?

It's normal, that is why most of the springs made for the WRX lower the car more in the front than the rear. Did they come with 225/45/17's?

ahhh...i see...unfortunately, I have some jdm v7 suspension that isn't quite made for the wagon and it's not going to make this problem go away.

Thats a bummer. If you have the cash it wouldnt be a bad idea to go with some wagon specific springs.
