Subaru Tuning & Aftermarket Parts

Subaru is a legendary automotive platform with deep roots in rally racing and a long list of racing accolades. Nearly all of their product lines feature a horizontally opposed, boxer engine bolted to an all wheel drive drivetrain. This provides an ultra low center of gravity yielding some of the best vehicle road handling straight from the manufacturer.

This unique layout propelled Subaru to the top of the podium in the World Rally Championships three years in a row in the nineties, making it one of the most trusted performance brands yet. Most of us Subaru fans were disappointed when they withdrew from competition shortly thereafter. The silver lining of this time period was the new vehicle introduction of the Subaru WRX to the USDM market.

The Subaru Impreza WRX hit the US shores late 2001 for the 2002 model year. This coincided with Import Tuning ramping up in popularity. The WRX & later the WRX STI had an uncommon boxer engine, it was all wheel drive, and it was turbocharged. This checked all the right boxes to bring a high performance all wheel drive compact into the mainstream. But, without much in terms of Subaru aftermarket support, most were stuck with OEM Subaru parts, and the Subaru WRX wasn’t quite as popular as some of the heavy hitters. ENTER: COBB Tuning providing performance parts and upgrades.
