Differences are:
Sti Has:
4.44 diffs
Inverted struts
Stiffer spring rates
Alloy lower front control arms
Alloy bonnet
less sound deadening
different steering rack (faster ratio)
Different engine mounts
Different gearbox mount
Factory short shift
Carbon strut brace

That's what i can recall off the top of my head.

No waterspray on aussie version 6's.

v6 sti also a solid rear firewall behind the rear seat to increase rigidity (wrx is open through to boot - split fold).
