i had my box done by Xspeed complete job done with 1-4 ppg straight
cut sincromesh ingagement for $6300 thats that included box in and out
i am very happy with my box but you will have to change your front
drive shafts as they are the next thing that is going to brack
i picked up a set of second hand sti ones for $500 they are heeps thicker
and stronger then standard ones the next thing to go on my car will be
the rear diff which will cost me about a $1000 to convert to sti

a hug ?

the point i was getting at, is compare the size of the rear shafts to the fronts. they are a fair bit smaller. i just haven't really heard of people breaking lots of front shafts. in personal experience, rears are about as strong as balsa wood.

even still, the cost of upgraded shafts dont stack up compared to the replacement costs of the stock shafts.

i just keep stock spares on standby...

if you got a rac membership use rac - its a bargin. however some of there truck drivers are a bit brainless, so make them take there time so they dont rip of your bodykit or front mount (they didnt do this to me but fuck it was close)
