Does anyone know answer to this question? I may be picking up a 06 STI radiator as well...

After 03(I belive) the wrx uses the same radiator as the sti. The 02 have a weird line for the overflow. This can be worked around though with a length of hose and a hose clamp or two. Beware though if your WRX is an automatic because 4EAT uses a different radiator than the 5MT(the trans cooler is part of the radiator in the 4EAT) An aftermarket trans cooler can solve that pretty easy though.
