Ya I think it has different suspension, bigger arb. 6pot breaks. I dont think they have a spoiler either. Their pushing 320bhp
 
From what I read, both have STI suspension parts but RA-R is adjustable and has a 22mm rear ARB? Adjustable dampers, rose jointed rear lateral arms, rose jointed trailing arms, STI back box.

Then the RA-R has;
- fully blueprinted, hand built engine (balanced and matched internals)
- VF42 turbo
- 6 pot Brembos with larger grooved discs
- GrpN spec STI turbo inlet pipe
- 18" STI alloys with 53mm offset 8.5j to clear the brembos
- carbon fibre lip spoiler and boot spoiler
- lower front strut brace
- Black interior.

Even if you don't speak Japanese, there's some nice pictures here. http://www.sti.jp/ra-r/catalog/
 
Seen one in C&C Galway 2 months ago. Was a darker blue. Very nice looking car inside and out. Opel has really stepped up their game.
 
bugeye one is more subtle like in the classic.
Blob and howk have those hudge ones that can swallow a bird or a small animal :D
 
Only the blob sti had the big scoop as when subaru tested the sti above 100 mph it wasn't keeping it's Temps low enough because of the bonnet design, bug and hawk only run small scoops and even the blob wrx doesn't run the big scoop keith
 
I always assumed it was just reduced on the hawk so it didnt look as ott for the bmw drivers etc. they would have been trying to pitch it against when new as in going for the executive market more
cant see why temps would be up in the same engine in both models learn something new every day :thumbsup:
