JDM Goodness: Subaru Legacy STI S402

Subaru is taunting us again with yet another limited-edition model that we'll likely never see Stateside. The Legacy STI S402 will be limited to (appropriately) 402 units in both sedan and wagon trim, featuring the STI's turbocharged, 2.5-liter flat-four. Unlike some of the other "special" Subies, the S402 Legacy means business. To begin with, the front fenders have been widened by 20mm, the steering ratio has been reduced to 13:1 and Bilstein shocks are fitted at all four corners, along with 18-inch BBS wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE050A rubber. The brakes have been upgraded to units from Brembo, with six-piston calipers up front and two-pot calipers in the rear gripping upgraded rotors. Aside from all the required badging, Subaru has fitted new gauges to the IP, along with a MOMO steering wheel and aluminum shift knob.

I'd rather get a subaru than most of its competitors. they still got awd in their blood and some great cars under 30k. sadly though, the legacy wagon isn't available here anymore and some really nice models never get stateside. :(

I had a blast in a Legacy Spec B not to long ago. I love the performance dial that they put in the cars. It seemed like I hit 80mph in no time.

I like it! It could be prettier, but the performance outweighs the looks, and I love the wagon version for the family.
