Hey sorry I'm starting to confuse myself, maybe I'm asking the wrong question.

Does the fact that it uses a 5x114 hub make the suspension sit more optimally?

What's the advantage besides running bigger rotors/brakes/upgraded subframe?
(which you can still run breembos on a wrx w/o sti hubs, I can get stiffer suspension on my wrx, I can get hybrid axles to use a r180, why should one upgrade to sti hubs at all? Just the increased strength in the rear hubs? The bigger tire size? Or does it change the suspension to sit better, therefore improving handling and grip) Did STI just say "hey lets make it a bigger hub to fit bigger wheels and stronger rear axles"

I'm trying to see why I should upgrade to nearly the whole sti subframe. What advantage in relation to the subframe/suspension GEOMETRY (NOT THE COMPONENTS like stronger lateral links, stiffer springs, thicker trailing arms, ect.) Of my 05 wrx vs say a 05 sti is there?

I do have a bit of a hard time explaining, thanks for your patience. I hope this explains it, if not I'll try again.
