Subaru Impreza MK4 Bucket Seat Guide
The Subaru Impreza MK4...
The 2015 WRX and WRX STI are the performance models based on the GJ/GP Impreza (2012-2016) with higher output engines, firmer suspension, larger brakes, slightly re-sculpted body panels, lowered ride height and larger intakes. The Impreza MK4 (WRX/STI) has a new 268-HP 2.0 liter direct injection turbo Boxter engine and a Active Torque Vectorting system to reduce under-steer on the track. Â
Once you start using your Impreza for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.Â
On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner.Â
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Subaru Impreza guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
