+1. ive been slowly starting to research what im going to do for my STI tranny. the 08+ internals in an 05-07 casing seemed pretty popular,cost effective, and reliable.

even an LGT tranny holds power. 350whp on most cars have been doing fine.

To be honest it all comes down to how you drive your car...

Flukewrx has 200k miles, stock tranny, stock clutch, stock motor.

Im aiming to reach 100k with my stock clutch at a minimum for sure.
