Depends on the price point and the end goal.
STI...
6spd.
DCCD
Brembos
Better interior.
2.5 liter.
It's a better starting point if you're only going to do mild bolt ons.
Now if you're going for a gnarly ground up build. Built motor and the whole 9. Starting with an STI is pointless. Buy the most gutted WRX or even RS that you can find.

If you're going to go that route then the thing to do is find yourself a JDM 6 speed trans swap.
It's non DCCD. No controllers or ECU's or anything like that. Better set up.

175k is a lot of miles that I would rather be putting it lol. I'm still sticking to the bugeye plan unless something else that's a killer deal comes along.
