KR doesn't have front Suretrac, GI has front Suretrac & K's audio system.

thanks John,

Ok so the GL has a Front limited-slip differential whereas the KL does not.

What does this mean in practise? How does it affect the drive quality etc?

Front LSD seems to make a BIG difference to the handling!

Trout,

Have you tried both? What are the differences please?

I'm off to Park Lane for a test drive of STi7 - they have both and I'm wondering which is the best to go for..

cheers,

Robin

Btw, the EL described in Keyring's site is I think no longer available in Japan. All STi have HID as std.
