Got 02 WRX
I got a 2002 WRX three months ago for a daily driver instead of running the ranger all the time...the ranger sucks on gas mileage and I don't want to kill it daily driving it since I just put a bunch of money into it on mods. It's way more fun to drive than the ranger, and a "bit" faster.

I love it. Plus I have it up to Stage 2, which is about another 50+ hp, plus it sounds sweeter than h3ll.

To tell you the truth, I feel safer in the WRX...in my truck it can: roll over much much easier, brake slower, has much much less control, accelerates slower (if needed to resist an accident), weak body structure, etc. The WRX's have a stong body, and you can feel it. In a large truck, i.e. F-250 I would feel safer. I do agree though, I do feel safer in my truck or any truck, but in actuality i'm pretty sure they're less safe...especially when a Ranger barely passes the crash tests and an Impreza gets "good".

I've always liked WRX's, I hope I can get one some time down the road. What kind of exhaust do you have, Blitz nur spec exhaust sounds pretty B** A** on WRX's. I like those wheels on yours also.

I have a Helix high-flow catted downpipe, and a TurboXS stainless 3" exhaust with RFL muffler...sounds awesome! I also just got a Perrin uppipe which I will install this weekend or next, and it should make it even louder and faster.
Here's a frineds that is for sale.Check out the link for mod ideas if interested. It's cranking about 400hp to the ground.

Well...that first picture makes it look really high. It is stock height which is pretty low, and being in PA with some rough roads and snow I don't want to go any lower, but yes it would look and work sweet if it was slammed.
Don't lower it that much. Just lower it like an inch or so, nothing drastic at all.
