Is this right or wrong?
Rear Diff on a 2003 WRX = R180
Rear Diff on a 2003 STI = R180
Basically, I want to know if I can use 2003 WRX hubs on my 2003 JDM STI?
Will my R180 shafts fit the WRX hubs?

I need to use 2003 WRX backing plates on my 2003 STI hubs to achieve my goal...
I need the 171mm handbrake assembly with 2 pot mounting on my R180 diff/shaft/hub set up.
Didn't realise I could just swap the backing plates around... which I hope is the case

your WRX has an R160 rear diff and nothing is interchangeable between the 2x set-ups.........
pretty sure the backing plates wont swap either as the mounts are a different pitch as well as other differences
