Epic Springs and a Downpipe Install on a 2009 WRX Hatch
by Subachad on Apr.19, 2010, under Engine, Installs, Suspension
Another spring install on a WRX along with a Downpipe install. This time its a 2009 Impreza WRX Hatchback. Not only do these Epic Lowering Springs give the car a much nicer stance, it’s also a great suspension modification to improve the handling of the WRX without sacrificing ride quality.
Scroll through and click on the images for descriptions of the install.

Unique Motorsports and then some.
Welcome to Unique Motorsports. This site was originally intended to share my automotive experiences. It has since grown to show random life events, tech stuff I deal with on a daily basis, random ramblings and showcase some of the tuning part installs I do in Las Vegas. While I mostly do Subarus as a recommended Mechanic for Flat4. I do other cars as well. If you are looking to have some lowering springs, shocks, struts, exhaust, bushings, FMIC, chassis braces, or anything else installed on your import or domestic in Las Vegas, send me an email and maybe we can set something up.
I'm not the Unique Motorsports you see on Speed Channel.
