New Impreza WRX suspension

[gangajas]

Doesn't it look too soft, like if the side of the car was going to "touch" the asphalt? Or is it normal?

It's looks way to soft to much bodyroll not what expect from a impreza.

the WRX (black) doesn't have to much body roll but the suspension does look soft i mean its almost rubbing the ground. where the body angle on the sand color impreza is getting freaky.

It sure does look like a Corolla, I seriously can't believe Subaru wants to calm down the appearance of the WRX....just a travesty in my opinion.

I've heard a few different people's impressions of the '08 WRX's suspension. Opinions vary from "lost it's edge" to "still rather fun," so as with everything it's very subjective.

The body roll has been there for a few years now, though. That's why most WRX owners end up getting new swaybars or firmer suspension.

But don't let the body roll fool you, these cars are very controllable since the roll speed is pretty slow.

Isn't that just the regular Impreza and not the WRX?

The black one is a WRX (well, aparently in Japan is now called "S-GT") and the "sand" colour car is the standard model.

They have already done a Tsukuba Battle with the car. I've found these times but I don't know if they are correct because I haven't seen the video.
