This was stuck to the road, I believe it is yes fully OE, can't remember what rubber the Yoko equivalent of the 888 springs to mind. Of course a decent pedaler helps ;)
@@Car9821 also the spec Ra-r or spec C have extra caster from minor tweak in front lower control arm design... Fitted from factory compared to all previous version sti... Probably additional front helical gear lsd does contribute to that as well
It's a Spec C RA-R it has extra mods over and above the Spec C base This article takes you through it www.supercars.net/blog/2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-spec-c/
Subaru initially used "type ra" for rally base cars. However, around version 4, Subaru started using "type ra" for non-rally base grades as well. This was done in order to sell limited edition vehicles with a sense of authenticity. Therefore, the original meaning of "type ra" was lost. So they started using "Spec C" instead. Spec C TypeRA-R is a name that includes both of these words, and it was designed to give the impression that the name was something amazing, but in the end, it became difficult to understand what the name was in terms of classification.
