Steering ratio on Impreza in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX Posted January 21, 2013 All 93-05 imprezas have a 16.5:1 steering ratio The 04-07 STI and 06/07 WRX have 15:1 steering ratios Subaru changed the design of the crossmember and steering rack in 2005/2006. So the only 15:1 ratio rack that will bolt into any 93-05 impreza, is the 04' STI. If you change the crossmember you can use a newer style rack. (Any 02-07 impreza rack swapped into a 93-01 impreza will need a custom u-joint.)
