DSS 92-00 Subaru Impreza WRX (GC8) w/ STI R180 Level 5 Rear Axle / Hub Kit
Driveshaft Shop (DSS) builds axle and hub kits for cars that see real horsepower and real abuse, and this kit is built for exactly that. The Subaru Impreza WRX (GC8) is a favourite for big power builds, and stock rear axles rarely survive the transition to serious boost — this kit is DSS's answer.
This listing covers the 92-00 Subaru Impreza WRX, chassis GC8, fitted with the STI R180 rear differential. The kit is rated to DSS's Level 5 specification, positioned for higher horsepower and higher torque applications than the factory axles and hubs were ever designed to handle.
Important: this kit is designed to mate with the STI R180 rear differential. Confirm your GC8 WRX is running the R180 diff before ordering, as fitment is specific to this differential configuration.

- Rear axle and hub kit matched to the STI R180 differential
- DSS Level 5 rating for high horsepower and high torque applications
