Default 06 STi subframe and steering rack with 04 STi hubs and LCA's. Will it work?

What's up fellas. I have a 2002 WRX with 04 Sti 6 speed, hubs, axles, lca's and struts. I recently acquired a 2006 Sti front subframe, steering rack, steering column and hubs. I don't have the money to buy new rotors, wheels and struts so I'm gonna hold off on doing the hub swap as of now.

My question is, can I swap the subframe and steering rack and retain the 04 Sti hubs, LCA's and sway bar? Is the steering column different? Do I need to change it? Is there anything else I need to get?

I'm not gonna have a problem with alignment? Toe in or toe out? The LCA's will bolt up to the subframe? What about my motor mounts? Can I reuse them? They're pretty new. Lol. Is the steering column worth upgrading too?

well, yeah you should check the toe after changing all that stuff out, but everything will bolt up just fine. 04 and 06 sti use the same LCAs. you have to use the 06 sti rack with the 06 subframe (they changed for 05), and it's little quicker so that's a plus. You should also use the sti linkage between the column and rack because it doesn't have a chunk of rubber in the middle of it.
