If you keep calling your car an STi, you're going to have a LOT of people talking to you about the '04 STi that we have here in the states. If your car is indeed an STi it wasn't originally sold here in the US (Like the Wingless Wonder said). Be accurate about your car's description when you ask other people questions and call it an "STi."

High-strength replacement axles for the R160 differential, along with similarly upgraded front axles. Both fit MY02-04 WRX with no modifications, according to source.
If this isn't what you need, they can probably make anything you want if you've got the money to pay. The catch is, you'll probably have to tell them what type of drivetrain you have on your car. I don't know why you feel the need to keep it such a secret when you ask for help.

I would also try to find out why you are breaking axles in the first place. I doubt that you are rallying your car. Are you using drag racing slicks at the strip?

Thanks wingless, but hey i cant take up 1600 and buy axels das way outta my league, speed really costs money, but i aint doin da kinda speed to b spending da kinda money so for now i'll have to stock up on da original axles for when ma car breaks em.
i think the problem is da tyres i have on, they are some what we call street/slicks, really hard rubber, they dont slip at all when i come off the line so if i launch to hard i guess with a car that kickin ova 350 hp, the amount of troque im exzerting is bout to break summen
the best bet i think wood be to put normal tyres on and burn all four of em when i come off the line.

I think you are mistaken. Soft, mushy tires, like racing slicks, are less prone to slipping. Harder compound tires have less grip, which causes them to break loose and spin easier. I'm no tire techie, but I think of the difference between the tricycle and big wheel I had when I was a kid. It seems to simplify things when put into these terms. The tricycle had mushy rubber on the drive wheel, and the Knight Rider Big Wheel, that had a harder type of rubber on the drive wheel, would spin for days without ever gripping the pavement, which is the main reason why I could never outrun my father who would chase me up the street while trying to beat with the telephone cord.
But, seriously...
Send me some more info about your car, and I can probably help you out.
