They're definitely the right shape, but you'd need to measure them to see if they're an exact drop in or not.

You would have to run them upside down if they happened to fit. The imprezas arms sweep back while the twins sweep forward

Taking a quick look it also looks like the balljoint is on a bigger angle on the FRS arms.

I think the ball joint is going to be the issue here
