Aren't the 02's significantly heavier than the previous models as well? I though I remembered talking to someone about that...
They're heavier, but they're also significantly stiffer chassis-wise, especially over the coupes.

But again, with 2002 WRX's selling for around $8,000-$10,000 these days, I wouldn't bother with a 2002 RS for a swap. Just try to find an unmodified 2002/2003 WRX.
