Default Sports?

Do Impreza Sports handle the same as Turbo's or are they a bit softer i.e. mechanically are they a Turbo with an NA engine and no bonnet scoop or is the suspension set-up different?

Considering a Sport wagon to replace MrsREV's Clio now that a little REVlet is on the way.

Different suspension- including dampers, springs and a lack of rear anti-roll bar..

Turbo suspension (inc roll bar) bolts straight on though..

Edited to say that the above is for Classics, not sure about new age... congrats on the Rev junior!

The bugeye NA (GX) drives like the WRX, except for the obvious speed issues.

Had Eibachs dropped on mine also 17" wrx alloys,
Powerstation Geomitry settings also, that has transformed the handling completely..... not able to fit drop links though as there are no attachments on the underside to house them

Don't forget the brakes will not be as good as the WRX then you don't have the turbo speed to worry about.
But still a cracker of a drive with all the subaru pedigree and handling.
If you go here

www.imprezasport.net

You will find there are a few more members now that are running 5 door new age Sports they also will be able to help you to.

Cheers
Simon
