2009 Subaru Impreza WRX with Subaru Performance Tuning (SPT) Parts ...

The Subaru Impreza WRX is a car that’s excellent for modification, with its willing chassis and 265 hp and 244 lb-ft of torque serving as fast foundations for building an all-conquering rally beast. Indeed, it’s rare to find an illustration that hasn’t been altered in one way or another, and the previous-generation WRX was even offered in a “Tuner Given” TR trim intended as a factory-built box slate for bolt-ons and personalization. Although there’s no TR model in the current lineup, don’t contemplate Subie has abandoned the tuner crowd. It offers a whole slew of mill parts for the Rex, most of which carry the added benefit of a factory agreement.

But we wanted to know if spending dough to spice up the quantity-hot WRX was worth it. So we called up Subaru and borrowed a 2009 WRX five-door the visitors had fitted with several SPT ( Subaru Performance Tuning ) add-ons. The list was cosmic and covered performance and aesthetic elements. The parts that in fact did stuff included an STI short-throw shifter ($295), STI shifter bushings ($25), a front strut-steeple brace ($230), a lower chassis brace ($200), a turbo eagerness shield ($49), and a performance exhaust system ($820). Spear-carrier style was taken care of by an STI shift knob ($170), footwell radiance ($47), a lip spoiler ($370), and a chrome sport grille ($345).
