SAS swaps are very easy to do. That said, really unless you plan on going hard crawling, IFS works just fine. The axles are a bit glass but as long as you are not dumping big HP into them they work fine. (85 btw, last year of the solid axle)

*edit* here you go, unmolested, clean, and has the 22RE in it. .. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/5274233353.html

Now, I love my toyotas, I have 2, ive owned 4 of their trucks so far. However the frames are **** after 1994 or so. Its why I will only buy 83-90 body 4runner/trucks

Taco lean is real and easy to see. I am talking 2010 -

It's minimal, the biggest change would be the audio head unit. All STI's now come with a 6.5" touch screen and the rear view camera displayed on it. I opted for the navigation, H/K, and keyless entry option so that comes with a 7" unit. Small changes would be one touch lane change indicator, dual USB ports, Pandora and iHeart radio connectivity. If you bought a limited you also have the option for the low profile spoiler.

There was more changes between the 2015-16 wrx.
