    The steering rack has only a certain amount of adjustability. If the track width was outside of this range, FFR would need to either replace the tie rods (or the entire rack) to accommodate the new width.

    There has been no indication that this is in the plan and the current version of FFRs "What you get and what you need" list specifically mentions you need to keep your OEM tie rod ends.

    For the front obviously, but the rear could be wider since it's been stated that the kit will have new half-shafts, right?

    Good point. Maybe thats what they are defining right now during testing.

    The half shafts have to be differant because you are use front inner cv and rear outer cv from donor. Front and rear axles are totally differant on the donor.

    But it does open the door to a different size than stock

    It's interesting that Subaru has different track sizes on their cars between sedans and wagons etc.
