|  | | | | - Performance-directed design features body color STi design aerodynamic side ground effects side molding, dual-plane rear spoiler, wide flare front fenders and rear quarter panels. The 4-beam headlight system features high-intensity discharge (HID) low-beam headlights and STi foglight insert covers.
- Aluminum alloy hood with integral scoop supplies outside air to intercooler; manually operated water spray feature enhances intercooler efficiency during high-performance
driving.
- Super-stiff Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame body structure with a hydroformed front subframe provides outstanding occupant protection in a collision.
- Compared to the standard Subaru Impreza WRX, Subaru WRX STi has been lowered by 0.4-inch and uses quicker steering. Aluminum front suspension control arms and rear suspension lateral links reduce unsprung weight, and inverted struts ensure more consistent performance under hard cornering.
- Brembo Performance Brake System employs ventilated 4-wheel disc brakes with 4-piston calipers in front and twin-piston calipers in the rear. A combination of Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) and a Super Sport Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to reduce understeer - and therefore enhance stability - under hard braking. This advanced system also helps reduce stopping distance compared to conventional ABS.
- Exclusive interior appointments include front performance design seats with integrated head restraints, perforated blue Ecsaine fabric with contrasting black knit bolsters, blue carpeting and aluminum-alloy pedal covers with rubber grips.
- Standard safety features include 3-point seatbelts for all three seating positions, dual front airbags, front seat head/chest side-impact airbags, heightadjustable shoulder belt anchors (outboard positions), front seatbelt pre-tensioners and force limiters and rear seat headrests for all three seating positions.
