    ^ i believe you are correct.

    yes that should be right, I remember Bikerboy having issues keeping his RS brakes on the swapped car. He endend up getting SVX backing plates to keep the stock brakes. since the SVX and STi have pretty much teh same read end IIRC

    Not neccssarily. Unless you really want to use the STi R180 diff. Even then, you could possibly have some hybrid axels put together so you can keep your WRX knuckles.

    Anything STi Version 3-6. Let it be STi Type R/RA so you can have LOTS of fun, or just regular STi tranny and you'll just have a VLSD in the center. All the STi Type R/RA's have the DCCD.
