Google image search 2007-2011 wrx springs and compare them to 2003-07 forester springs.

They fronts may fit. The rears won't at all.

Waste of time, Go pick up some coilovers and be done.

also have to swap your rear struts for non-self levelling ones as they will just die if you put in lowered springs. get GD (01-07) wrx wagon struts and springs or GD (01-05) STI struts and springs. Secondhand should cost like 3-500 max.
or coilovers as cam sugested.

Do it once and do it right. Just buy coilovers.
