I'm interested in differences between the euro (160kW) and JDM version of 1999 WRX (205 kW?).
The drivetrain, suspension and brakes are the main concern.

The thing is that I'm trying to "register" my car for higher power level (189kW) but I need to prove that the brakes and suspension are able to handle the higher power. Here in Finland this can be done by comparing the car to a more powerful version of the same model line.

Obviously I would need a parts list for both vehicles. I think I could get one for my car using the VIN, if I just knew the right people... But I would also need a VIN for some JDM model.

Anyone here with some knowledge about the differences? Any input is appreciated.

Edit:
Okay, I just saw the thread " Oem Subaru part numbers / Vin decoding service" above by Rossco. I guess that would be right place for parts list if he's still around. I would still need a JDM model VIN
