What?

Never mind I get it now that I think about it.

get a rear sway bar. then you can jack up the front and the rear will go with it. and you don't have to go that high

and it's cheaper than the sti spare

Not really. If you have stiff sways, both tires on one side will come up together when you jack up the car with the front lift point.

Yes. But it costs almost $300 at the dealer.

Im not sure if this is helpful, but I carry a full sized spare on MY02 WRX. Unfortunately the fullsize tire, doesnt fit underneath fully under the carpetting. So it buldges up.

I'm not sure if the ppl in an STi are running into this issue with a full sized spare.
