Does anyone know if the driveshafts fitted to a MY12' STI are the same as an 06' WRX's?

Going to say no

The rear will most likely be a r180 rear and which is different to your wrx

And the front may fit depending if your gearbox has male or female stubs on the front diff
The sti will have the stubs on the shaft rather than the gearbox

I'll be fitting a R180 with the conversion. The shaft stubs are male on both mine and the 6 speed units. My main concern is the compatibility of the CV splines fitting my hubs. If not then the possibility of fitting my CV's onto the wheel end of the 6 speed's half shafts.
