So there is a company called "STI" that makes shifter bushings? I was wondering why you would have replaced your bushings with ones from the "STi" car, because the stock bushings royally suck.

 

STi stands for Subaru Technica international, the car and the aftermarket parts vendor are the same. If you look at STi parts and cars they both have the same STi logo. IDK whats up with the 06+ being STI but I know they are the same.

 

wow, I have a headache now

 

I am well aware that "STi" or "STI" is Subaru Tecnica International. Yes, starting with MY 2006, "STi" became "STI" to lessen confusion; good job Fuji, it really worked. Howver, from what Kenny (Alizarin) writes, I am confused as to which shifter bushings he has. To make this even more confusing, I thought that aftermarket Subaru parts were sold under the "SPT" name.

 

'Appreciate the response!

 

I have the STI short shifter and kartboy shifter bushings.

 

I am curious about the effect of those bushings. Need to try a car with them. I doubt there is any performance advantage in using them, and if that is the case then it's rice...or sort of rice no?

I also heard about the 2004 steering rack bushing swap - I'd also be curious about peformance gains with those.

And then there are all those other bushings...which are shot on my car. Maybe it's time for Miata...

 

You can putter around in my car if you're running at Primus... I have both shifter bushings and the steering rack bushings. Granted, I don't have an STi, but it should give you an idea of the difference.
