available for the 2008 Impreza 4 and 5 door models. The new pink STI Coil
Springs are specifically tuned for street performance and are approximately

reduced by about 10mm. The lower center of gravity and reduced body roll

Springs are covered under the 3-Year, 36,000 mile Genuine Subaru Accessory

You may want to buy All Season tires. Summer tire and
what it means tires designed for warmer temperatures and high stress
use, with large tread blocks not good in inclement weather. The rubber
does not maintain elasticity in cold weather, so the grip is less even
on dry pavement. In the cold a summer tire becomes unpredictable and feels
slippery when cornering no matter what the weather. This problem is compounded
in wet or snowy conditions.

2009 WRX reviews
and articles
jalopink says
'..Stop
Speeding Yanks! Slow the f#*k down!, Go home! Something about the 2009
Subaru Impreza WRX makes you want to speed. And here in Canada, where they
take the law literally, blatantly flouting limits really stands out. Of
course, something about the WRX will always sit uncomfortably with the
surrounding world, no matter the pace. While it's been modified for 2009,
just one year after its launch with 41 more horsepower, stiffened suspension
and STI-esque bodykit, it remains one of the ugliest cars on sale. Of course
it's another kind of ugly people are concerned about today. Heading southwest
down a remote road on Vancouver Island in an American-plated WRX, I'm not
exactly behaving like an ambassador for my country. These are some of the
most challenging roads in North America, winding their way through the
coastal mountains along ancient logging trails, the road bears the ravages
of harsh winters; its two lanes rippled, rutted and patched beyond repair,
concrete barricades serving as buffers when the going gets too rough.
Unlike the firmer,
louder and more focused 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, the new 265 HP WRX
eats all this up. As untroubled by the bumps as it is by the limited passing
opportunities afforded by the few straights -- after all, double yellows
are just lines painted in the road -- it leaves law abiding traffic in
the wake of its new, louder exhaust.
A year ago this wouldn't
have been the story we would have written. A competent but uninspiring
drive, the 2008 model forsook performance for practicality in an attempt
to broaden the brand's performance appeal. It didn't work, the WRX's traditional
focus and involvement were mistakenly left out, resulting in a car that
alienated its core audience while retaining enough awkwardness to miss
the mass market, too. That car lives on in the form of the 2009 Subaru
Impreza 2.5 GT, a car the company expects to make up only a small fraction
of Impreza sales. Meanwhile, the WRX has been rethought from head to toe.
Gaining better judged, firmer suspension all-round, thicker anti-roll bars,
STI seats and most important of all, an STI-spec turbo. The WRX now hits
60 in 5.4 seconds before reaching 140mph (limited) and will retail for
"under $25,000." jalopnik
autoweek says
'Automakers aren't big on admitting mistakes. Although Subaru folks won't
go so far as to say they screwed up the all-new 2008 Impreza WRX introduced
last year, they've already developed an improved 2009 model. You don't
need Judge Judy to tell you that's an admission that they missed the target
on the first attempt. WRX devotees and the enthusiast press blasted
Subaru for making the new car too soft. The people spoke, and Subaru listened.
"The '08 car was a big leap forward, and it brought in a lot of new customers,"
said Martyn Harding, Impreza product-planning manager. "But it was just
not exciting." So, for 2009, Subaru engineers strengthened the WRX in a
couple of significant ways. The turbocharged, intercooled, 2.5-liter boxer
engine has been tuned to put out 265 hp at 6,000 rpm (up 41 hp) and, even
more important, 244 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm (up 18 lb-ft). The WRX now gets
the same turbocharger that is on the 305-hp STI, and the exhaust system
and catalytic converter have been modified to allow for 30 percent more
flow... But most WRX buyers will do their rallying on commutes, and here
the updated car excels. Subaru engineers were able to stiffen up the ride
without making it too harsh. In fast corners, there is less body roll than
in the previous car and moderate brake dive. Steering turn-in is quick,
and there's a bit of understeer when pushed hard into a corner. While it's
not the full-out boy-racer toy that the STI is, the WRX is a car you want
to drive every day rather than something geared more for the track.' autoweek
motortrend says
'You might forgive the styling if the 2008 WRX handled anything like its
less-ungainly predecessor. Subaru understands that, and has resharpened
the WRX's chassis just one year into the new model cycle, while adding
41 horses and 18 lb-ft, making it a better match for the 2009 Mitsubishi
Lancer Ralliart's 237 hp and 253 lb-ft.The newfound power comes from a
bigger turbo the size, but not the configuration, of the STI's, plus a
new intercooler, larger-diameter exhaust, and low-density catalyst. Turbo
boost is up from the old engine's 11.4 psi to 13.3. Front springs are 43%
stiffer; rears are up 42%, and anti-roll bars are up 1 mm each, to 21/16
mm front/rear. Subaru has bifurcated the Impreza line for 2009. Last year's
WRX remains on the market as the cushy new Impreza 2.5GT, a nicely dressed
version of the 170-hp Impreza 2.5i with the 224-hp turbo engine, standard
four-speed automatic, and sunroof. The same base price gets you the entry-level
performance Impreza, the WRX, with five-speed manual only, and Incline
Start Assist.' motortrend
caranddriver.com
says "..There are few problems that more horsepower can’t fix
or at least help you ignore. And as a perfect case study, we bring you
the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX. Our first impression of the new-for-2008 WRX
left us hot and cold. Interior quality, overall refinement, and noise isolation
were vastly improved, but the WRX lacked the thrill of the previous car.
The engine was largely unchanged, and weight gain was nonexistent, but
the WRX came off as more of an Impreza GT than the street version of a
rally car, a trait its predecessors had in spades. And with the Mazdaspeed
3, Chevrolet Cobalt SS, and Dodge Caliber SRT4 all making more than 260
horsepower, the WRX looked anemic by comparison with only 224 ponies on
tap.
So Subaru has addressed
these issues with a few updates, the most notable being a power boost to
265 horsepower, an increase of 41. These changes only apply to the manual-transmission
WRX; the automatic continues unchanged in all but name and is now appropriately
known as the Impreza 2.5GT. Subaru’s marketing plan is to align the 2.5GT
with the naturally aspirated 2.5i model and liken the WRX to the 305-hp
STI. To that effect, the WRX now shares a grille with the STI, and the
optional body kit becomes standard. The five-door WRX also gets the rear
spoiler from the STI...' more
