DCCD doesn't put all the drive to the rear wheels.

What models and what year cars have the dccd on then?

What's the maximum torque split they allow?

Is there anything to watch out for when buying like on the evos and infamous ayc pump or is the system quite strong?

Or am I better of staying with a standard wrx or sti and being happy with that?

Cheers

i believe the split is about 65% rear 35% front maximum, though i think it's slightly different on early cars.

You will pay premium for a type-R or typeRA with dccd. Better off sticking with a normal STI and getting yourself some adjustable coil over suspension and good soft track tyres.

DCCD is on

STI RA`s
Type R`s
not sure if it was on the WRX RA or not.

These are JAP Imports

The 1st UK car with it was the WR1 but your not going to get one for £3k

Torque split is 35/65 i think

Approx 35%/65%
First UK STI's had DCCD-A on MY05
And it does make a difference to the way these cars handle

Only the STI RA's had DCCD the WRX RA didnt.

The Type R's not to get DCCD is the WRX Limited.
