Default Rear diff

Hi,
I have a MY00 Impreza GT with transmission code TY754VN1AB.
I am looking for a rear LSD, and thinking of the R160.
What ratio is my rear diff? 4,11?

Think your getting confused. The r160 denotes the size of unit regardless of whats inside.

I had a Kaaz in my pug 205 and made a world of difference. Back then they had a very good name....not sure if anything has changed since then or how they are in the Impreza but would certainly be a make I would look at if upgrading.
