Thumbs up impreza cams

ok, i've got a uk 95 impreza.

but i'm thinking of changing the cams. but being a uk, would sti or wrx cams make any difference at all.

another thing, would i have to stick to the year of the car.

would sti v1/v2 cams be good or wrx import cams 93/96.
any ideas, + what sort of price would i be paying for these.
thanks in advance

If you can't afford to do it properly, just wait till you can. The UK cams are not very different in terms of mapping to the WRX ones. Early STI heads are totally different and the parts are not interchangeable. Expect to pay up to around £500 for a good set of heads, and they will certainly make a difference.

are sti v2 heads/cams a lot better in comparison to the uk ones i have, i've been reading threads on sti v3, there the best (so i've read) but how good are the sti v2 ones, as these seem to be cheaper + i know they fit right on.

i've got a uk 95
