As you enter a corner and lateral g-forces take hold, the system applies braking force to the inside front wheel to help you keep your intended line. This means your WRX or WRX STI responds to your steering input more immediately and more engagingly. S P O R T- T U N E D C H A S S I S WRX STI Years of heated competition, extensive testing and advances in materials and engineering have combined to inspire new chassis designs for the WRX and WRX STI. Exceptional stability and lightning-quick response were central to this development, as high-tensile steel was employed throughout the frame to increase its torsional rigidity and better control the vehicle’s weight. What’s more, the suspension was tuned to exacting standards with stiffer stabilizers, higher spring rates, and improvements like stiffer pillow ball bushings. This expertly balances stiffness and compliance to create immediate response and an unprecedented connection between driver, car and the road. 17
