Hey guys, does anyone know the part numbers for the STi space saver?

I've been tracking this item on eBay but I think it's now way over priced, but then again I'm not sure how much Subie Australia sell it for....

Over priced yes but IMO would still be less than a half of buying it new from subaru Aus

With the number of Brembo conversions happening on the forums ATM, and that there's only a few options available in the event of wheel / tyre issues... STi wheel (exy), change rear to front and spare onto rear (PITA), or STi space saver... :D

The price it's going for still isn't bad... Although I would have to admit I'd struggle to part with that much money for a space saver :P

Generally speaking a 17 inch rim that will clear Brembo's is around the $300 mark new + rubber... So depending on what you can pick up a tyre for IMO makes or brakes this space saver.
