Default 2011 Sti Saloon UK vs JDM differences?

Are the differences between the 2011 Sti Saloon UK & JDM the same as with the Hatch?

I know the UK Saloon has Spec C suspension but does it still have 2.5litre instead of stronger 2.0 litre engine? Also I would imagine there would still be the twin scroll turbo, quick rack, gearbox differences.

There is also a 320R UK version I believe, any major changes with this?

Thanks

I think the main differences are the engine plus possibly the gearbox ratios as well.

Yes, the UK 2011 saloon comes with the 2.5Ltr engine

Originally 300Ps/407Nm, but due to poor initial sales Subaru UK decided to give away an "In House" developed power upgrade to 320Ps/450Nm plus a pioneer AVIC-F320BT SatNav as part of the package calling it the 320R for the time being (Think the free extras only available to end of June)
UK Hatch gets the same package.

From what I read, it is quite a sorted chassis. Not the type that would 'suck ***', in any case.

AFAIK Ricky, the differences are the same with the hatch.

Yes, and still only the JDM gets twinscroll, close ratios and the quick rack.

Thinking of one?

Wouldn't mind a used one next year but Sterling/Yen exchange rates have to first improve. Also I dont think there are any over here yet so no model report done for SVA I would imagine. Though I'm sure its not going to be hard for importers to do if its so similar to JDM hatch.

Despises the thought of you're newage, and the fact that there's another change after that again scares the **** outta him

I bought the 330S in March last year, so I missed the new car registration taxes.
