I am very curious about the weight of the Sti. everything I read says its 3263lbs. now if i am not mistaken its about 100 plus pounds heavier then the wrx wagon manual transmission. now this is with the radio delete, light weight hood, lack of sound deadening and such. what gives? what am I missing?

also are there any total production numbers available yet? especially related to colors?

also is the factory Sti suspension upgrade a stock us sti suspension setup or is it a upgrade? can't seem to find a answer anywhere. people say the pink springs are a good up grade for the sti.....what about the rest.... are all the parts upgrades for 04 us sti's or just the springs?

lastly need opinions on exterior color. I can't decide between wrb or black. both look great with the gold wheels. opinions wanted. thanks for your replies.

 

engine tranny. body stiffness. DCCD,

springs.. H&R has 1 . ERS has 1. of course everyone loves the STi optional one. prodrive will have 1 soon.

JiC claims they have coil over. no actual product at the SEMA show.
Tein has Flex.

i don't get ur suspenson as an upgrade question. the STi springs u need to buy is aftermarkte. it's used on Spec C i believe.

color is ur own thing. go see them in color, i fell for white the first time i saw all 4 colors together..

congrat on ur purchase

production # is quoted as 3200-3600 units for 04. not sure how solid this is.
