you can do it , you need the top hats, springs, struts, and if i remember correctly you need the control arms too, but don't hold me to that. However after you do this you can fit a pappion under your car, or two cans of monster

I do remember that OZ had M&A auto do the swap for him

If you do raise the suspension by doing a Forester to Impreza swap, you will have to source a pair of trailing links that are longer so as to make sure you center the wheel in the wheel opening, but more importantly to have the correct suspension travel and geometry settings.
