Sti Shafts are all the same.
But if u have rear R160 diff u will need longer shafts or keep your current rear setup. putting alloy rear arms will make shafts pop out while cornering. So stick with GDA steel arms, they are 1cm shorter that alloy.

The widetrack shafts are longer. If your fitting a 6 speed which uses male ended shafts the easiest way to sort the front is use hawkeye WRX shafts which are the right length and are male ended at the gearbox end. This is what I have done with the front end of my RA and I have a Hawkeye 6 speed DCCD box. I also have newage STI 100 PCD front and rear hubs. At the rear I initially had the Hawk rear diff and standard Blobete STI rear R180 shafts. I have changed the diff unit in this rear diff to a KAAZ plated unit but that makes no difference to the shafts.

You will also need the 6 speed clutch servo and from memory clutch fork. You can retain the 5 speed clutch and flywheel if you choose. You will also need the 6 speed starter, thye linkage and the prop to suit the rear diff. The propshafts changed between 6 speeds and the PCD is different between late and early ones. They can be redrilled if the rear diff has the larger flange, if it has the smaller flange then you will need the correct prop or do as I did and get a new universal joint fitted to the prop, some info on this in my project thread.

The speedo sensor is easy just unscrew your current mechanical one, 2 pin one or 3 pin one and screw into the 6 speed. The fittings are all the same so a classic mechanical drive will fit in exactly the same as a 2 or 3 pin sensor.

In terms of the DCCD the easiest solutuion is a Neetrinics or MAPDCCD after market controller.

Thought it a better investment
