I didn't realize that kit kept the 5x100 bolt pattern. I though it just allowed you to use <'05 struts.

That's actually a pretty cool deal for folks looking for a stronger setup that aren't running coilovers or big wheels. The drawback is that if you kill one of the unit bearings, you have to get the replacement machined back to 5x100, negating the easy bearing swaps that make the STi hubs so great.
