Subaru Impreza Performance Parts

by Andrew Kozlov

The Subaru Impreza was an incredibly popular car during the 1990s. The turbocharged engine of the Impreza models allowed drivers to flex their muscles on the road. At the same time, the sturdy suspension, responsive handling, and competent braking system of the Impreza encouraged drivers to control their vehicles and to navigate carefully on off road terrain.

The three most popular models of the Impreza are the 2.5 RS (the sporty version), the WRX (the rally car version), and the WRX STI (the souped up version of the WRX). You can also purchase an Impreza Outback Sport, which provides the durability and maneuverability of a sport utility vehicle while simultaneously delivering the turbo power of a sports car.

Impressive Subaru Impreza Performance Parts

Yet while the Impreza comes standard with exciting power features, you may wish to upgrade to performance parts to improve the quality of you ride and reduce fuel efficiency problems. For one, sturdy brake pads, like those manufactured by the Carbotech company, can help you brake quickly and smoothly in a variety of temperature and road conditions. Carbotech brake pads are engineered for rally cars, but they are compatible with street Subarus as well.

If you choose to upgrade to an STI engine, you should take care to revise your suspension and brakes accordingly. The Subaru Impreza is a large vehicle with a boxer engine, and thus it generates a lot of momentum over a relatively high center of gravity. By tuning your suspension down, you will lower your center of gravity and thereby reduce your risk of rollover accidents.
