Default Handling, WRX MY03 v STi 03

Is there much difference in the handling between these 2 cars? I have a MY03 WRX, with Prodrive lowering springs, which i'm mostly happy with, but STi's seem to look like they go round corners much better and with a lot less body roll!

STis have higher spec inverted dampers, and rather nice diffs to help them along.

It is possible that on a very bumpy & wet road you might make better progress in a WRX.

You would improve the handling by 100% by repalcing the bushes with polyurethene one and an antilift kit.
