Help me understand the various STI models over the years

[Atlblkz06]

Other than the looks, are there any fundamental design changes?
From what I know the engine almost always made right around 300hp/300tq and I believe the exhausts are quite restrictive and is a good source of free power.

I don't know of any Subaru forums - if someone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

• Door cards have more material on the 05+

2. Suspension/wheels

• 04 strong as trannys
• 04 5x100 lug pattern
• 04 weak bearings
• 05+ 5x114.3 lug pattern
