The spec B has Bilstein suspension and sweet 18" rims. Other than that I don't think any other options.

For Gen II's like mine. The manual GTB got a more powerful engine, 275hp over 254hp. With that came the bigger injectors, more aggressive engine tune, bigger turbos, dual entry exhaust that opened up at higher RPM etc. etc. It also got a MUCH better interior, fancy things and a bloody good sound system, better momo wheel, sportier bucket seats, could even get blackened woodgrain dash trim instead of grey plastic. And handling wise it of course got the bilsteins, which gave it a lower firmer ride and SEXY 17" mags to boot. Oh yeah, and a sexy body kit to top it all off.

Theres a good reason i insisted on only buying a Manual GTB when looking for a new wagon :D

Reuben... the GT and SpecB that he's talking about is the Gen4. BL/BP chassis.

Main differences over the LGT.

The 1st-year spec.b here got a unique paint color, Brick Red leather interior, 18" wheels, Stiffer springs, and Bilstein dampers.

The 2nd-year to present is availible in 2 silvers(light and dark). It has an STi-style black and blue alcantara interior, STi 6-speed gearbox, stiffer springs, and Bilstein dampers.

Oh snap! :lol: ...and I forgot about that. It's cheaper to buy an LGT and put Bilstein HD dampers and better springs on it than it is to buy a spec.B.

I'd agree with that, but you also get the six speed gearbox which is a major upgrade over the 5MT.
