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.

Great to know Subaru finally sorted out the big stuff like 13 year old power and drive train to be taking care of the little useless luxury features like one touch lane indicator, Pandora and USB ports...oh...wait...
