bmxkemelona- How did you do that rear drive conversion?
Matthew044 - Your converstion must be easily reversible if you can "switch back" for winter. How did you do yours?

Wow, can't believe how slammed that thing is...
I have a lot of respect for someone who can do something different. Have you considered the RX7 knuckle mod? There's a few Impreza guys doing similar stuff to what you've got:

I am thinking about welding my diff for the summer

The R160 is not capable of handling the toque that even my NA Outback was putting out. In the time that I've had RWD (6+ months) I've destroyed:
1 open R160
1 welded R160
1 WRX VLSD
4 R160 axles
2 rear differential covers (twisted them apart)
In addition, the thrust forces caused by the helical cut stepper gears are sure to butcher anything in the transfer case/rear half of the transmission. When shifting hard into 2nd or clutch kicking the steppers disengage a little bit and the upper gear pushes itself right into the back of the center differential. So, to add to the list of carnige:
1 stepper gear set
1 <98 center differential
1 rear transmission housing
1 center bearing
mind talking about your rear end experience?

when i 1st went rwd i had the r160 in the back still but open.
did a few good one tire fires and weakened the spider gears (even broke a few)
welded that diff soild and broke all the welds twice (i think it was because of the weakened spider gears)
But i have been on the same welded r160 for about half a year now with no issues
as for axles, ive broken 6 last summer and this one so far.
most of the broken axles were from them being pulled out of the cup because of how low i am so the cv joint was at max range.
i now have a custom diff mount to tuck the diff up 2.5" (helping to keep the axles in a straighter line) and it seems to be a lot better
