What's needed for an sti trans swap in 09 wrx?
What do I need to do an sti wswap in my 09 wrx? I've driven some older sti's and I just love the trans even when the car has less power. Is it just the diff and trans or driveshaft and axles also? anyone who has done this swap who can help would be greatly appreciated

Front or rears?
You might be able to use SpecB rear axles.

If you're looking to do this we should see if downsti still has his STI.

I was talking to him about parting it out at my house. He'll have everything you need on that car and it's a low mileage car. Let me know. I'll drop him a line if you want. See if he wants to do that.

I'll have to get the caddy put back together first but I should have that done pretty soon. Just got the drop spindles and stuff all assembled.
