A STi 6MT swap can be done for FAR less than what a PPG 1-4 set costs now. It also offers advantages over the 5MT such as a front LSD and the possibility of working DCCD. If an owner is not concerned with sacrificing a few tenths in the 1/4 he/she can have a wonderfully performing car for quite cheap, at least for a Subaru. Oh and if that owner were to get his/her hands on an 07 unit they would have the best of both worlds....
To the OP....whatever you do, dont buy RA gears. Theyre a marginal upgrade over 04+ gears at best. Unless you change your driving habits, you will break them too.
