Could I pretty easily make a WRX handle as well as the STI? My reasons for going with the STI are:
- the stiffer suspension. I am coming from a mini and I want something stiff (does it have a lower stance also?) This will not really be a daily driver. I only live 1/2 mile from my office and will likely get a golf cart to go to and from. So the STI will be driven 95% of the time for pleasure. I will also be doing more auto crossing in the future as time permits. I am sure that will be different than with my mini.
- 6 speed vs 5 speed; (My MCS is a 6 speed and I like that)
- better brakes, I love the feeling of great brakes
- si-drive (I love gadgets)
How much work would it take to get the WRX on par with the STI in the handling and braking department?
