Wide track cars have a different shock setup, slightly wider track although not a huge amount, pcd is 5x114 rather than 5x100 like all the previous models. You can tell also as they have the lips on the rear arch.
Dccd is as described, was on the jdm cars but only appeared in the uk on the wr1 and the wide track sti's

i had a 55 uk with dccd and the wide track.
the wide track has a slightly bigger PCD, 5x114.3 against the standard 5x100. that refers to the distance between the stubs on the hub so the wheels, suspension etc are not interchangeable between the wide track and pre wide track blobeye.
that model will also have the newer hawkeye dash. i looked into a hawkeye and to me it looked like the late blobeye is basically a hawkeye with the better 2.0ltr engine and the blobeye shell. it was a really good car but needed loads of suspension work to make it anywhere near as good as the current P1 is with stock suspension.

Shaun is right, not all Imprezas (all cars in general for the matter) are manufactured and registered straight away, so you may find a 55 plate without wide track, but you will also find 54 plate (2005) cars with wide track..... nothing is ever simple lol
My 54 plate wide track im breaking soon https://www.scoobynet.com/923136-bre...blobeye-2.html

As for centre console, not sure when this was implemented as the WR1 had the basic heater controls and non widetrack yet it had DCCD
Some of the late 2004 models didnt have the upgraded heater controls, yet some did.... There is no clear path to follow in my opinion.Simply look for arch extensions, and the roller switch for DCCD in the centre console and ensure that the DCCD is actually fitted to the car as some folk upgrade the cosmetics yet its not actually a wide track DCCD

nope its undergoing major mods as we speak.
its sits lower in the pic due to these
also had whiteline adjutable front and rear arbs and anti lift kit and cdf racing droplinks and front and rear strut braces
transformed the handling

Wide track looks soooo much better in my opinion, and im sure it would aid the handling.

So what would be required to convert a 2002 Bug to Wide Track, given I want to swap my JDM 6 speed for a UK (preferably a Hawk) would this cover it:
Gearbox, rear diff, shafts, hubs (f & r) - I already have prop, linkage, cradle, cradle etc. I guess I'd also need rear brembos and new disks (114 pcd) plus wheels. WOuld my wishbones, shocks (BC's) and rear links etc. be compatible?
