Well, make this sticky because it will save many people the $450 plus 2 hours of labor to attempt the install.

What I have on my wrx is:

JDM 6spd
JDM r180 rear diff

What I was using for a propeller shaft:
1995 Automatic Impreza shaft

What I tried to fit:
USDM Sti 2004 propeller shaft

The end result:
It is 1:30 am and I am furious :furious: :furious: :furious: The diff hub holes do not line up with the USDM end hub/flange. I've taken a few pictures to show the difference from the auto shaft holes to the USDM Sti one. The auto shaft did fit, I just wanted something beefier.

Close to lining up


Opps, not really



Argggg


I recall a few people stating it would fit, I guess until you personally try do not rely on 2nd hand info I'm just pissed from spending 2 hours on my back for nothing.

 

Yeah, but I could have taken down my wrx shaft instead of a brand new Sti one:/ I'm popping into the dealer tomorrow to see what they can do fo me. I am hoping that the worst case senario they take it back with a small restock fee.
