My 94 WRX gearbox needs replacing and I'm after a box with better ratios. The standard box would only allow 53 mph in second, so I'm after a box that will allow me to hit 60 in second. My original box is not an RA box as it redlines in 5th at 150 mph. I have thought about an STI box but in a WRX would it reach 60 in 2nd due to the lower rev limit of the WRX engine.
I don't realy want a UK box either as I think they will be too high geared and kill the acceleration. I don't mind changing the difs at the same time to get the right set up. I would buy a box from Lateral Performance but at the moment it is out of my price range.
Cheers Colin.

Yes I know you get what you pay for, and if Mark has put his name to the Aussie gear set it must be bl**dy good. It just means that I would have to sell my second car + put some money towards it just for the gear set !
The RA box, can you hit 60 in 2nd, and what is max speed ? I thought it was 112 mph, which means if you can hit 60 in 2nd the last 3 gear ratios are very close. I need a box with a sensible 5th gear ratio.
