Yeah - that's why I love the v5/6!

You could throw a VF28/29 on a stock Wrx but it still wouldn't catch a v5/6 - the difference with the STi cams, close ratio box & 4.44 final drive makes them a different animal.

The V5/6 suspension is pretty good - I still run the factory upside-down STI struts with Whiteline springs (just to lower the car), anti-lift kit, roll centre correction kit, rear subframe locks & Cusco sway bars. The sway bars making the biggest difference overall. Was it all needed? Nope!

It's a firm but comfortable ride & it's pretty neutral handling.

They have the R160 - viscous LSD as standard but plated rear was an option.
