I can tell you I just got this in with a lighter flywheel, and the ACT Clutch, I can not tell you how much stronger it is, but dang it takes off a LOT faster. My wife loves it, granted she gets worse fuel econ, I get better though, guess my more spirited driving style suits it.

Kaaz Synchromesh Close Ratio Gearset
High strength gearset for extreme street and competition Subarus with the 5-speed manual transmission. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears are straight-cut gear profiles (as shown in picture) which eliminates thrust forces and provides maximum gear strength on the gears that are particularly prone to failure. 4th and 5th gears use a bevel design for minimal gear whine in the "cruising" gears. Kaaz uses a high strength steel alloy which undergoes special heat treatment and stress relieving processes. The end result is a gearset capable of reliably handling power outputs in excess of 500hp. Synchromesh engagement (like stock) ensures easy driveability in street driven vehicles. The gearset includes all components required to install in the appropriate gearbox including speedo gear (please specify final drive ratio if not standard). For MY99 and newer boxes this will include all synchro components, reverse gear, locknuts, gaskets, etc. Can be adapted to fit most Impreza, Legacy, and Forester gearboxes. Please call for applications not shown.
Kaaz ratios: 3.167 (1st), 2.267 (2nd), 1.667 (3rd), 1.250 (4th), 0.964 (5th)
KZ-CRGWRX Kaaz Gearset for Subaru MY02-04 WRX 5MT -- $3200
