Updated upgrades for the STI???
I just checked this out, Is this 05 STI or does the UK version ONLY get these upgrades?? Doesnt the EVO already offer some of those things like Yaw Rate sensor meaning AYC??
WRX STi:
Revised chassis with longer wheelbase and wider rear track
New front LSD, standard driver's control centre diff and yaw rate sensor
More rigid steering and front suspension mountings
Wider wheels - now 17x8 ins with 225/45 tyres
Improved aerodynamics

sounds nice for the scoobie drivers...but hey..you eo owners already own them when it comes to modding...so why worry about it...oh and i thought that the 05 evo's are coming standard with ACD...but still no AYC...hey maybe next year...

The 05 US STi gets massive upgrades, but not to the same level of "night and day" as thier STi. Lol the older brit STi's were flaiming piles of crap compared to ours.
However nearly the whole car is new for 05 even in the US. New suspension arms, hubs, boltpattern, struts, door panels, center console, dash, AC controls, aluminum front fenders, aluminum trunk lid, lighter wing. wider rims, wider track width, etc.
Basicly the main shell of the car and the engine are the only carry over items.
