Looks.like a mild update of current 4 door. Nothing radical.
We love out 2012 5 door wrx. Looking at a bunch of cobb parts over xmas.
Why do you want tbe sti over the wrx? Thay are equally fast and tbe wrx is far simpler and cheaper....especially to insure.

As for the 50hp...call cobb. As for the center diff...wait till it goes out.
The only thing better in the suspension is springs and maybe swaybars...again call cobb.
Unless you are rally driving the car on gravel, the WRX is the way to go and even then I don't see the additional cost and complexity being worth it.
We are going to start prepping our '12 WRX 5 door as a one lap car for next year's event. It classifies as a station wagon!!! LOL!!! Doing a bunch of Cobb stuff to it and gonna go have fun!

The Subaru dealer hates telling you that!!! the STi weighs nearly 200-300lbs more and with the short gearing of the 6 spd trans, requires and extra shift to 60mph. the WRX is lighter, has wider gearing and has less rotating mass compared to the sti. The WRX is the one to have as it has the exact same body work except for the goofy wing on the 4 door.

Side note, I love Cobb products, and there's a Cobb store in Plano...that's pretty damn close to me
