Biggest changes are the A-DCCD and wider track, plus some interior updates

STi's dont have a yaw control, they have a yaw sensor, 2 different things as all it does is sense
But does it make a difference? oh yes

So up to press the differences are
1) Yaw sensor
2) DCCD
3) Thicker prop shaft
4) Some changes to the interior
5) Wider track
Anything else.?
