Default UK or JDM?

Evening gents,

Have friend in the market for a blob eye STI.

He was taking about getting a UK one however for some reason I remember JDM being the right choice to make here and I can't remember.

In a nutshell, which is better and why?! Also I have advised him to avoid 2.5's.

One more thing, I tried justifying STI's over WRX's to him but got lost after the minor tweaks with brakes, engine etc... so... what are all the differences... how do I sell it to him!

Big ask, many an argument ahead but I want what is right for him so this is the place for the answers.

Thanks,

Rob

The JDM cars had a rear wiper, twin scroll turbo and equal length manifolds but I'm not sure what else.

Thanks lads, not a lot then in a nutshell, just the usual 'if the owner looks like he has been forced into it, then that's a good' sign type buy then!

There can be loads of differences, depending on model year and model type, between a UK and JDM.
