08 wrx vs 09 wrx

it is a very straight line or loose surface designed car. to get better cornering on the street you'd definitely need some upgrades. just to be competitive with say an LGT in cornering, I'd probably need at LEAST uprated front and rear sways and links for both.
no one makes a good cupkit setup for the 09's right now. anything you buy will be softer than stock

You think so? You have a 2009 right? I would think the setup on the 2009 would be a lot stiffer with less roll than an LGT. Have you driven an LGT? Maybe you need to take the Spec.B out for a drive sometime. I think mine is pretty squishy and roll a bit.

A 2008 WRX I would understand. My buddy has one, and it's a touch too soft. It's very LGT like in terms of roll.

yep, i have an 09, and emily has an LGT haha. her lgt is definitely stiffer with less roll, completely stock suspension.

i guess i'm just picky though.

Does she drive either a black pre-2008 LGT or a silver 2008+ LGT? I threw a thumbs up at the girls driving them, haha. They must think I'm a creeper or something.

 
Well I have never driven and LGT but I can tell you my old 97 Pontiac GAGT with Eibach Prokit Springs and KYB Struts was stiffer than my 09 WRX. However it did not translate to better handling. It had solid rear suspension, it understeered badly in the Rangeley S turns, of course I was breaking the speed limit by a bit.... heh. The REX easily beats the GAGTs speed in cornering. Just has more body roll.

I'd love to drive a 2009 WRX and compare it to the factory Bilsteins on my LGT. If only they had performance Subarus at the dealer up here! Quirk has squat for forced induction!

The dealer I got my 09 WRX Hatch from didn't have any hatchbacks in stock so they got one from Quirk to sell to me. So they did have some WRXs back in march. I probably should have shopped around before agreeing to pay what I did, but hey, at least I got the exact car I wanted.
