I know that most of you guys are with me when I say that there are so many cars in our country that deserve more exposure but are not given any. Lo and behold, we've got two of them right here - a 2004 Subaru WRX sedan owned by Ruf Cuenca and a 2008 Subaru WRX hatch owned by Aurick Go.
It really doesn't take a lot to drastically improve the looks of cars, especially these Subies. You can play around with the drop, fit some low offset wheels and you're good to go. And play these two did as both Ruf and Aurick slapped on some AirRex air suspension on their rides that literally allows them to GO CRAZY WITH THE DROPS . Both of them said that they did this set up initially to look "different" from others, but realized in the end that what mattered most was they fell in love with their cars even more. After all, we build cars for our own satisfaction and not anyone else's, yes? Enough of this though, let's take a look at these awesome Subies!

Ruf's Subaru sits on Airrex digital suspension accompanied by BC racing camber plates. Wheels are 18x9.5 Rota MXRs with +38offset all around and wrapped in 235/40 Nankang ns2 tires. He also has a VF39 STI turbo, STI injectors, STI intercooler, KNN air filter, 3" full exhaust, HKS silent hi power muffler and ECU reflash. To make the exterior look more aggressive, he also installed an STI limited ducktail and STI limited chin. Interior mods are quite conservative with just a Defi boost gauge and Pioneer HU added.

Aurick's ride, meanwhile, may not be as catchy to the eye with it being black but it definitely breaks just as many necks. It also sits on Airrex digital suspension with custom out of box mounting. It rolls on 18x9.5 Rota G-force 2R with +38 offset wrapped in 245/40 Nitto NT555 all around. Other things that Aurick has going on in his WRX are IHI VF52 turbo, open ECU reflash by MFB, AGR full custom exhaust, Grimmspeed Boost Control Solenoid, Deatschwerks DW65C fuel pump among others.
