Adding AWD to a car with FWD only is drastically different than adding AWD to a RWD car.


The WRX is set up as AWD. It has never been FWD. The BRZ suspension components are already shared with the WRX. You could make a WRX RWD by just replacing the transmission and thus moving the engine back a bit, since the BRZ tranny is shorter because of the missing transaxle. Add the BRZ front spindles and boom. RWD WRX.
