1g dsm stuff should fit the fronts. The rears are separate from the shocks so you can either trim them or if you have a 2.4L model you can swap in the 1.8L coils.

Any 1G option will work in the front (permade, coilovers or modified EVO8/9).

In the rear, you can ether cut them or buy 5" outer diameter racing springs in desired length and spring rate. Fortunately, these springs are used in the front of oval racing cars, so they are pretty cheap ($30 each on eBay).

Stock spring are around 400-450 lbs*in, and 10" tall, so go from there ;)

I am going for 8" long, 800lbs*in springs, but I wouldn't recommend something that agrrasive for most people :)

Ive found lowering springs for the wagons. Not sure if they are still available. Maybe someone can search for them.

RS*R makes them. Part number is B610TW

easiest/cheapest route is to do what leon is suggesting. im running the setup he had on his car before the teins...EVO 8/9 shocks and stock springs up front and EVO shocks in the rear with 7 passenger van springs. the ride is definitely stiff in the rear! you'd be better off w/ an adjustable shock in the rear if you want to solve that. i personally dont mind the ride and like it since the car doesnt squat as much when i launch. i picked up my EVO stuff for $150 but im sure you can find it for closer to $100 for a complete set. if you really want to get crazy you can find the Bilstein MR stuff but its usually pretty pricey and you could probably find used coilovers for that price.

i wasn't sure on the springs sizes in the rear since i tossed my stock ones but since Leon listed it above im going to call Ground Control and see what they can do in regards to a coil over set up. i had spoken to them in the past and they were very helpful and said they just needed measurements. if they had stuff on the shelf that could be pieced together it sounded like they'd sell it for the same price as a normal kit.

Called Ground Control today. Everything they use is a 2.5" diameter so they don't have anything that would work for our setups. They suggested looking in to a company called Blue Coil.
