Timo....I'm not sure of the figures for the 1999 JDM WRX, but the V5 and V6 STi's were 206 KW and the same for Australia - our 99 WRX had around 160 KW I think. There were many subtle differences between the 1999 Australian WRX and our V5 & 6 STi's.
Suspension was similar but I think the V6 STi may have had inverted struts. Brakes were the same at the front (Subaru 4 pot) but the V6 STi (and I think the 2000 WRX)had two pot rears. Turbo was the roller bearing VF28 (or 29?). Not sure if our V6 STi had the R180 rear diff, but certainly the Type RA's had the R180.
I have a VIN tucked away somewhere...will send it to you if I can find it.
