The whole suspension was redesigned for the 05 thats why i bought an 05 and not an 04. People were complaining about the understeer problem that seems to plauge the 04 STi.

The '05 has a quicker ratio 15:1 vs. 15.2:1 and uses a metal bushing instead of the rubber.

05 wrx (non sti) has a different steering column and steering rack too. it just makes it a little bit tighter from the steering ive driven in a 03 wrx. but the 05 sti has a huge difference. its a little more responsive and more fun. and a shizload better suspension
