Wrx hatchback handling
I remember reading about an upgraded springs and shocks pack - Bilstein and Eibach that improves things - it drops the front by 20mm but retains rear ride height which I felt would help as I found the front rose a little more than I would have liked on the STi I had. Unfortunately I didn't have the car long enough to fit the kit and comment on results. As a compromise on cost ahead of the coilovers and as a complimentary interim step have you thought of upgrading the rear anti roll bar, also do you have a front strut brace fitted? I will be considering a faster steering rack for my next hatch to make it easier in the twisties food for thought... http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/SUBARU/Subaru-Performance-Upgrades/subaru_08_handling

1.5r Manual or 2.0RX automatic Impreza Hatch
currently driving an RX auto - not driven the 1.5 but I would imagine it is quite slow in comparision to the 2.0. Driving and handling is fine it rolls more than the STI I experienced before (no real surprise I suppose) putting XL tyres on improved things a little. The auto box gear changes could do with tweaking and I understand there is a 'pack' you can load to improve things as there are similar issues with the legacy auto box but am still waiting to hear from my local subaru stealer about that one The auto is ideal for using the torque and grunt to drive in a smooth fashion but does not compare to spirited stirring of the manual box so dont buy the auto if you want to be doing spirited driving in that fashion - its just not that type of motor. I does hold the road well and will cruise long haul with no issues at all (cruise control etc fitted) flooring the throttle results in sustained high revs before changing gear but the 'pack' may resolve that. I am considering changing the springs for standard STI ones to see if that stops the body rolling quite as much, but we are supposed to be letting the eldster inlaws use this so probably wont happen. dunno if this helps really - probably the best option is let your mate drive yours as well as the other two options then point him at a 330s - some JDM inports come with auto boxes ;) edit - aa review http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/cartestreports/2007097.html

Wotcha and welcome - all friendly on here so feel free to get stuck in. There is no problem with posting on this forum in the for sale section and as such you can post lots of hi res shots to show off your motor. This site has lots of collectables on it and has vehicles with a premium tag - however sometimes you need patience to get the figure you want http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/cat/3/506/

2017 WRX STI 2dr Touring Car
Wotcha and welcome - I said similar things about the Subaru show concept of the WRX so unfortunately - not your fault - I think it is more what you are having to work with as a starting point. That said though when you see it from different angles you should get the Subaru styling. Buuuuut I would def buy one :) Please keep us posted as I would like to follow this project ;)

Newbie WRX owner from London
Wotcha and welcome - tidy looking motor you have there - feel free to get stuck in all friendly on here and as long as you are not trying to sell a wrx as an STi - I dont really care - to me its like logoing up your scooby in Colin McCrae / Richard Burns livery - its not a rally car but you're not trying to say it is

Newbie from Burton on trent
Wotcha and welcome - I would go with first option for simplicity but build a higher spec, lightened, balanced, knife-edged, coated crank etc then get it set up properly with a map.
