do you mean stright after you've changed up into 5th or 6th respectively and then hit hard on the gas? can't say i've experienced this with mine.

however, the main complaint i have is that the entire cage literally rattles everywhere when going over only a bumpy road...

No I mean it happens as you hold it at a constant speed or if you are gradually pulling up the revs. If I floor it I don't feel the juddering.

Forgot to mention that the juddering isn't coming from the gearbox. It just feels like the whole car is shaking.

Anyone got a standard STI8 without PPP? Do you find on the motorway in 5th or 6th gear the car seems to judder a lot? I'm not sure if that is the hard suspension or if it is something else.

I don't have the gear judder but the hard ride is becoming painful
I know we will have to wait for Prodrive springs (and I hope that they do the trick) but the setup seems far to hard for normal road use.

hmmmmm...sounds strange. suggest you get it checked out quick and have one of the subraru guys sit next when it judders so they know what the problem is...before i was thinking you could have been letting the clutch out too quick in lower rpm!!!
