Why can't they just "borrow" the prodrive P2 body style OMFG, !!!

$1100 for 4 4-pot calipers? (or is that just the rear 2) and only add $200 for floating 2 peice rotors, its a lot of money... but it seems like not too bad of a deal ?

That's $1100 for front 4-pots, and $1100 more for read 2-pots. So around $2200 to downgrade the STi brembos to the FHI WRX brakes that fit under rally wheels.

It's not a bad price, considering StopTech's race offerings for all 4 wheels are in the $9,000 range, and Brembo is like $15,000. Granted, those are for upgraded road racing brakes, not downgraded smaller brakes... but if you're building a race car, being able to replace all four corners for under $2500 is retarded cheap.

2011 STI Specs, attached.

Wow... no performance boost on the STi? So really, all you get in the STi over the WRX... one extra gear and a DCCD. Sure there are some other gizmos... brake force distribution, SiDrive ECU, sportier suspension... but none of that IMO makes up for the price gap.

I am surprised that Subaru has done nothing substantial to the STI. Basically the modifications are minimal even when compared to the 2004.

cody · 2010-04-02, 12:04 PM

Yep, the WRX on the other hand has gotten better and better. I'd seriously consider a 2011 WRX if it weren't for the weak pistons and open diffs.

That sedan is almost as ugly as the Bug Eyes.

But I do have to say that the sedan does look better than the earlier 08-10 sedans.

I don't even know if part B there is true (part A surely isn't!

).

Sure the newest sedans look way more aggressive than the '08-'10 models, but I don't know if they're "better looking". The kinda look like the fenders were frankensteined on there. At least the old sedan, while boring and Corolla looking, were at least cohesive.

I like the hatch better. But then again that is what I have.
