start from lower range to top end, WRX, Sti, S20, Spec C, Spec -C type RA.
of course Spec C RA most powerful, over 300++bhp.

Spec C Type RA almost similar to ori Subaru Rally car

Mind you..S20 series is also 320bhp...and Spec C RAR share the same engine as S204...but with remmaped ecu and such..Spec C type RAR is also the first ever jap production car wit brembo monoblock 6 pot front and of course 4 pot rear callipers as stock specs..

well..if money is not a prob to you and ur after the whole package...go for the Spec C RAR..since it was built to trash the S20 series in handling and performance wise..i think its about rm60k to 80k difference..otherwise..i would suggest s20 series as i have one at home..

Subaru Imprezza Spec-C RA-Ra is limited car. Was built for ‘Ready to Rally’ on group N.

Lighter Body frame compare to others Subaru Imprezza. No sound proofing at all, no boot cover for luggage, no nice leather seat. But It come with stunning 6-pot break, titanium muffler.

Faster got extra 30hp than the normal Subaru STI, same bhp with s203, 320bhp.

Not the best in Imprezza family.

Price estimate around RM240k for year 2005/06 recon. More expensive than s203 but cheaper than s204.


Subaru Imprezza S203 (why do u choose s204?)

The most gorgeous Subaru Imprezza on Imprezza family. S- Stand for Super 203.

Come with nice Kevlar CF bucket seat, CF lips, CF rear diffuser, stunning 18” bbs rims with Ponteza tyres. Most striking interior & exterior look what I can say.

Price estimate around RM200k for year 2004/05/06.

My buddy has a Spec C RA R.
Main difference from S204 is RA R has 6 pot brakes. But because a 6 pot brake is almost unique to RA R, price of brake pads super expensive, ie almost RM1,800 for a set of HP brake pads.
S204 has a much more luxurious interior.
RA R almost no sound insulation.

But at the end of the day,
I would choose a V9 Spec C over S204 and RA R as essentially, all V9 are almost the same once you tune them.

At that time we could not locate a V9 spec C at the right quality, so we were force to buy the RA R at more than RM250K.
V9 Spec C is less than RM200K,
Imagine, 50K budget for mods on a Subaru is a lot!!!!
This is my 6 pot brakes on my WRX GDA running 330mm (similar to STI Brembo's)

Brake pads only cost RM850.00.
