Not really no. Generally speaking you can only get the Perrin and Mishimoto kit here in the UK for these cars, both of which are over £1k and out of the 2 it would have to be Perrin every time personally. MUCH better quality.

But.... I will let you in on a secret... my MY15 had a Japspeed kit fitted on it from a hatch STI and it fitted very well indeed with hardly any mods required. Also made very good power. I've done a few additional mods to this kit now and it's going back on my car in a week or so time so I can post pictures when this happens if you like. That'll cost you less than £400 realistically.

The MY15 and hatch share a lot of components and the engine bays are very similar indeed.

Thanks! That sounds promising. Is it the 08 to 11 kit they have for 300 quid? What mods are needed?

Yes that's the one. I didn't make the mods on the kit originally, the previous owner and specialist fitted it to my car and I believe they only had to cut off one mounting bracket. I won't know for sure until I fit it all back on the car in the next couple of weeks time. He did tell me it fitted very well indeed.

Sounds good, looking forward to hearing more! I guess their upgrade top mount fits our cars too then?

I suspect so, if it fits the hatch then it'll probably fit the MY15 too.
