It was day and night for me, the RA-R handles much better due to the bigger alloys and rubber plus the braking was just as brutal as the AP 6pot 4pot setup I had on my previous RA plus it has the bigger VF42 however I think this Turbo is more ideal for tracks as boost kicks in a lattle later however it powers through all the way to red line.

You after one?

Brakes & suspension upgrades mainly on the RAR, a Spec C turbo could be tweaked to similar power levels. Both made made by Subaru Sti

The RA-R in white is absolute perfection (in my humble opinion).
