R160 4.44 with suretrac LSD

You can unscrew the oil filler bung. Shine a torch in there. You should be able to identify the LSD.

V5/6 STI has single pot sliding calipers in the rear. Only the V5/6 STI-RA got twin pot rear calipers. They also got R180 hubs, shafts and 2 way plated R180 diff.

I don't think GC8 STI's came with 2-pot rear brakes, so singles sound right.

EDIT: Beaten to it!
