Exterior questions

What's the best front lip to get?
Where do I get it?
My car is stock now, I want to eventually lower it show I keep the 16" rims or go 15" and drop it ?

Welcome to the forums!

Which model do you have and what year? I assume you have the sport since you have 16" rims. There's a couple you can choose from:
Mugen lip fits 09-11 and is a little expensive but nice. JDP lips are less expensive but the company has made a lip for both 09-11 and 12-13 models.
There's a Subaru Sti lip that fits pretty well too(for 09-11, not sure how well on the 12-13). And then there's the inexpensive DIY lip from Home Depot/eBay that you can try, with garage door sealer. I think that's most of the lips.

If you want to go lower, the easiest would probably be lowering springs. If you get 15, you'll be lower but there'll be more of a gap in between your wheels and your car which cmake it look "higher" if you don't put lowering springs. Lowering springs is probably the best option for you, keep the 16's!

you will not be magically lower with the 15s. tire size recuperates rim difference.

Woops, yea, for got to mention that-- it'll only be lower if you get a lower profile tire that's smaller than the oem wheels haha..

Thanks I have a 2011 sport I wasn't sure if the 16" would look too big or not I'll prob just keep the 16" and just lower with springs. I was looking at the Mugen lip but like u said it's a little pricey.
