There are two options that I know of.
1) new ones from Subaru. 2) koni inserts.

I'd recommend the Koni's. I havnt used them myself (still on the origionals) but I believe I will be getting them soon. I've heard good things about them compared to the stock ones. You could also get coilovers from Dayle at Motorsports warehouse too. I think he sells his coilover kit for $2500 minus a Network discount.

The konis are inserts. So you have to gut the old struts and install the inserts into them. You would have to drain the oil out of your struts and then cut the tops off them. The inserts slid inside your old struts and bolt thought the bottom.
As for springs to can get them from motorsport warehouse or go with ground control coil overs if you go with the konis.

Why are those references not listed anywhere not even on the Koni catalog?

Possible to pair the Subaru OE struts with the motorsport warehouse springs?
