version 9 is the same fitment as 05-07 US STi parts and won't fit anything other than the v9+ STi because the front steering knuckles are bigger.
For US cars (JDM are a year ahead) v7 is 02-03 (bugeye), v8 is the 04, v9 is 05. |

Good summation there jamal. That's basically it, though there were some valving differences across the years.
Here's a shock dyno graph that compares various dampers (Evo8, 05 STi, 02 STi-front): |

EVO has done a very good job w/ the low speed rebound
Looks the STi has toned down both rebound and compression a fair amount- interresting. |

Do you have any graphs with the EVO MR's Bilstein shocks?
