Facelift front happened late 98, with new steering wheel and dash.
99 onwards, new alloys, STI mid-level spoiler, 215BHP instead of 208. Colour coded mirrors and handles, 4-pot brakes and different seats (height adjust i think).
2000 i think got the reading lights but the rest as 99.

MY98 had piston slap problems on some models, slightly softer suspension.

MY99 stiffer suspension, phase 2 engine better brakes, cosmetically slightly different, hi rear spoiler. Different ECU AE800/AE801 seats from STI.

MY00 same as above but colour co-ordinated side skirts, mirrors, slightly different cosmetic trim changes AE802 ECU made it more economical or so they say, upgrade was to source AE800 or AE801 ECU. This gave a better response.
