Hahaha. Those cars are also super expensive. THANKS for all the info guys. I'm looking to swap soon though so only stuff in the 2k to 3k range will work out for me.
I'm trying to find a wrecked WRX to swap in EVERYTHING. Please let me know if you find one.
Great info BTW Hatteroo!

This is making me think I should just do a 2.5rs swap for now and then wait for a USDM swap.
I found a seller for JDM 2.5rs engine and tranny for 700? I might have to do that.

Still waiting for the guy to get back to me.

Definitely not interested in the K, but that G swap looks good.
That is cheap. Let me see how much I can get it for. I hope shipping isn't a *****. Since hella ebay sellers charge "shipping" fees.

I got my EJ20G from a GF8 STi 555 Limited with the attached 5-speed transmission for $900 picked up. I think they quoted shipping at $200 or something.

It's more expensive, plus I have a 20g short block sitting in my garage.
Wait, where did you score a deal like that?
