I'm considering upgrading a 98-01 L model to look and perform as much like an RS (less the power of the 2.5l engine). Before I jump into it there are a few questions comparing them. These three are all I have for now, but I'll edit it if I think of any more.
1.) Shift box: The RS has a shorter shift, but it is the system the same in the L model as the RS? The RS seems tighter and more notchy than the L, but the Subaru brochure I have doesn't state any difference between them.
2.) Brakes: The RS has discs all around. The L has rear drums and smaller front discs. Is ther a kit for the L to install discs all around? I have a feeling I'd be stuck with the drums in the back.
3.) Shocks: RS has a stiffer sport suspension than the L. This is the easiest question as shocks and springs are a common upgrades...I'm looking for recomendations for an RS OEM quality and low cost.
