Left: Before  Right: After

 

Drivetrain: STI 3.9 R180 rear Diff, R180 rear axles, STI R180 3.9 Front Diff in a 2002 RS 5 speed transmission. Explaination: to run the 2006 rear brembos, I had to upgrade the 2002 rear hubs for 2004 STI rear hubs. Unfortunately, the R160 axles were too small to fit the STI rear hubs, so I upgraded to an R180 rear diff and axles. Now that the rear end fit, the front and rear gear ratios were off, so had to change the front diff to match the rear. 

Future Mods: Body Kit, water-meth kit, coilovers, wheels, custom paint, audio/video system, rally armor, full roll cage.
