I'm finding it difficult to locate one of these but have noticed the R160 is used in the Forester and wonder if anyone has worked out if Forester uses a 4.44 version as might be easier and probably Forester bits are not so expensive

They do, but not in Europe. (1.081 drop down transfer gears and a 4.111 rear diff)

MY03


MY06 ( K0,K1,KA - Australasian Markets)


MY07 (typo on gear ratio)



EC = Europe LHD
EK = Europe RHD
ER = Europe Ireland

seem to recall the Turbo S JDM Foz auto's used a 4.44 diff set-up??

Thanks, I'll keep looking. I think they use a 4.44 up front and with different drop down gears a 4.11 at the back as previously mentioned..

JDM cars up to around 2007 use a 1to1 straight drop gear.........

UK cars have pretty much used the 1.1 to 1 drop to reduce the rear axle speed

what exactly are you trying to do as R160 (or R180) only applies to the rear set-up albeit with slight variances in drive shaft fitment over the years
