In looking at the specifications for the STI rear axles, they seem to be about 0.3 inches shorter than the Legacy GT. However, the R180 differential is approximately 40 mm wider than the R160. It might work out. I won’t know until I start taking stuff apart and that’s probably going to be well into spring of next year.

I saw that. I reached out to him about a month to two months ago to ask him what shop he used and exactly what he had to do but never got a response.

I'm using a 2017 STI trans, RS180 rear diff, axles, hubs and knuckles... Front knuckles should fit according to the thread I read as well as GR rear knuckles. When I said hubs I meant to say knuckles. I'm not talking about changing out just the bearing hubs alone. Also, the GR STI rear knuckles also fit the 2010 Legacy Outback...

Thank you. It looks like I will have to change out my VA rear spindles and knuckles to the GR version. They seem to be cheap enough on eBay. The front knuckles were used from 2008 through 2021. Appreciate you sending me the link!

Does anyone have any information on what year STI hubs will fit our vehicles? I have the hubs out of a 2017 and just checking to see if maybe I need another year. Thanks.

Yes.

That's kind of what I was thinking looking at the drawings of the two different racks. Not that there's anything wrong with the stock rack. Maybe some better bushings would take care of the compliant feel.

Has anyone ever installed the quick ratio STI hydraulic steering rack into a 5th gen? I know it fits the 4th gen, but that's more closely related to the "traditional" engine crossmember.

I will post the build when it happens. I still need to do some more healing from my neurosurgeon screwing up. And so it might be late next year before this happens. Also have a engine coming so that I can 3D print the headers for it and test fit them and then send it to the header shop. And I need the heads for the new motor when we do that in 3 years. There is an awful lot of work to do and there's just me.

Well... um, this.

2015 STI front and back seats. Need to be cleaned up but basically perfect. By the way, I was looking for these seats for a month or more. Do you realize how hard it is to find limited seats, with all leather and no alcantra, and heat? It's like hunting for a needle inside a pile of needles. When I install these I'll put a build up on it. Especially the wiring.

I was able to nail this down more - this is from PLM who reps various vendors. 1. First we gauge interest & collect pre-orders ***Pre-orders are 100% refundable if there is not enough support generated for this product. *** 2. Develop a design 3. 3D print a prototype and test fit 4. Once validated, we can roll right into production for our first batch of the new product. Equal or unequal length would be determined as well.

Looks like it's not going to happen.

I agree that not much supports us, but the 5th gen LGT can still be a powerhouse. The turbo and fueling seems to be the biggest hurdles. I have found that most 2015 WRX items fit our platform, but it takes real work to make them shine. The exhaust and turbo system design is actually better than the older LGT, but is not very flexible to change based on what I've seen. If I was to do it over, I would have bought an '09.

Finally, everything is imperial units. That TPMS light will be gone soon enough. The only p/n still available new is the 2010 p/n, 85021AJ01A. That's what this one is. All displays including the eyebrow ambient temp and fuel display and the HVAC all changed to °F and miles from metric. Took 20 minutes. Big shout out to Aaron and team at Kings Subaru in Cincinnati.
