New guy here with a kit ordered and sourcing donor parts now.
What will not work from a 07 STI?
Is it bascally anything from the suspension and brakes?
I am most interested in the powertrain and harness from this donor.

I'm not an expert, but what I recall is that originally the 6MT ouldnt work. Since then, it is now officially supported.
There's a list of needed donor parts in the build manual (Appendix A) that will itemize what is needed. For STI donors, I believe FFR supplies you with a slightly different linkage on the back of the trans and possibly different axles but you have to let them know you plan to use the 6MT. They'll probably be able to give you a better answer if you call them. The 07 STI's also had thicker front spindle uprights (5x114) compared to wrx and 04 STI spindles (5x100) so the FFR upper control arm brackets won't fit unless you shave them down a bit or shave the top of the spindle. You could also get around this by putting in 5x100 spindles up front.
