You can find a number of 2.5RSs that have already had complete STi drivetrain swaps, working DCCD, brakes, etc... if you want one. Just google Subaru RSTI and you'll be on the right path. Some people were importing JDM STi front clips and drivetrains to do these swaps; others just grabbed USDM STi 2.5 drivetrains as they started becoming available on the salvage market. The benefit of the JDM STi swap is the 2.0L closed or semi-closed deck engine, depending on the version. The drawback is the time and complexity of getting it shipped from Japan.
