Just making sure you're up on what else it takes for this swap...

You know you'll need 5x100 '04 STi rear hubs to replace the 5x114.3 hubs that are in that kit.

Plus you'll need some 5x100 gravel rally rotors to go with your existing 2-pot rear calipers (P/N RSTR-2634 from RalliSpec: http://www.rallispec.com/prod_brake.htm, or you should be able to get them direct from Subaru, but I don't know their FHI part number off hand). And that's assuming the TR 2-pot rears are the same as the gravel spec 2-pot rears that fit on the R180 compatible rear spindles (I'm pretty sure they are).

Alternatively, I'm not sure what the rear-end ratio is on the '06 TR, I think it's a 3.90. Older WRX's had 3.545's and older STi's had 3.90's... but I think in '06 they switched... so if you can find a 3.545 WRX R160 rear-end from an '02-'05 WRX, you can forgo all the rear brake/spindle/hub swap stuff and just keep an R160 in the back. Someone correct me about the TR's rear-end... if it's a 3.545 then it should work with the '06 6MT.
