    The 2005 up rear Sti hubs are slightly different and you will have to modifiy the FFR supplied brackets. Also I am pretty sure the spline is different (larger) and the FFR supplied axles prob won't work. But all of this can be worked out and the Sti stuff is much stronger so go with it.

    Agree, all the 04 Sti on the track up here have swapped over to the later STi spindles, and last season did not have any issues. I don't expect any issues with the WRX spindles on the 818 since the weight is not that much, I will have to see how the cross weights play out when I'm done.

    Im aware of theses issues but i think its worth the effort. Im using the 6 speed as well. Thats a challenge im going to let FRR sort out.
