"Lotus" pistons in a Subaru makes little sense, and whilst I could be wrong, I'm not aware of Lotus making pistons for anyone.

Are you sure it's not "Cosworth" pistons, because they do make pistons for the Subaru.

Mark.

Depends on who's done it to be fair.

I would also check that the transmission has been swapped for a
stronger STI version, I would'nt of thought the WRX would last long,
find out how much torque it's pushing out as that's the killer.
