So, some unexpected snags, but if I can find the parts I need and the rest goes pretty smoothly, it will hopefully work.

Edit: If anyone has male ended front axles, please let me know as I need them.
I have some male axles from a WRX sedan, but they are too long.

Check out my thread about swapping in an '06 WRX tranny. I have the part numbers listed for the axle stubs so you can use the stock Legacy axles with that style tranny. I just did it in mine, so I know it works.
Disclaimer: If anything I post is inaccurate, please correct me. I do not wish to add to the misinformation floating around on the internet.

That being said, everything I post is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

ah, good to know. I'll look for the thread. That would have sucked if I had bought '05 WRX axles only to have them not fit. So I know, I've got some early WRX female-ended axles, would those work with the adapters?
