Default Newage WRX vs Newage STi Weight..

Hey guys,

Quick question. Where does all the extra weight in the STi come from, it's a good 100kg right? All I can think of is the gearbox (35kg?) and brakes (?kg)
Apart from that, what else could make the car so much heavier? The larger intercooler and turbo surely only add up to a small amount?

Cheers for the responses!

Thicker anti-roll bars, bigger wheels, bigger tyres, bigger spoiler, all adds up !
