    Posted: 30 April 2006 at 10:38pm

I've come across an 04 WRX rear with axles for $170. Can one of these be installed just as an older subaru rear? I'm having a hard time finding out the ratios for wrxs. This one is out of a 5 speed, non sti car. I assume its LSD because WRX is a super performance mobile :P

If this one is a R160, it'll be a VLSD.  I think the axel shafts are different too, there is a fellow down in Washington selling modified half shafts for this setup though.  I'll see if I can find the link to post for you.

Careful I Have a WRX and those rear ends can be fragile. VLSD means no burn outs

Wow I'm glad I went with the r180. How many burnouts before it broke?
