WRX Suspension
With all this talk lately about the WRX and its high-performance potential, you were probably wondering when we would feature something Subaru-only in power gear. The Hotchkis Total Vehicle System (TVS) is a complete performance suspension package, developed to dramatically improve the street and track performance capabilities of the WRX. The sport stabilizer bars, sport coil springs, sport camber plates, sport rear camber links and strut tower brace work together to significantly improve handling, traction and control. The sport coils lower the WRX 38mm in front and 35mm in the rear. The TVS components are made from CNC-machined billet aluminum and steel, are powder coated where its needed and just all around bitchin'.

Hyper Voltage System
So you got all of your electronic goodies hooked up to your ride and you might be worried about it draining the hell out of your battery. Since today's vehicles use so many electrical components, the Hyper Voltage System has been developed to hold the charge from the battery in order to stabilize voltage to your system. That was a mouthful. Power loss experienced through a/c, audio, or heavy throttle use can be minimized. There are three different types to choose from to suit your driving styles, as well as a choice of six wire colors to enhance looks in your engine. How about mauve? And at a price just around 100 smackeroos, you should be able to buy three or four. Wire yourself to Sun Auto USA at (888) SUN-0767 or www.sunautomobile.com.
