Grip and Control: Best Suspension Upgrades for the 2022 WRX

Suspension upgrades for the 2022 Subaru WRX bring many benefits. Improve the handling by replacing factory-installed parts with custom aftermarket ones. Your family will ride in comfort with the addition of Subaru performance parts designed to absorb the shock of sudden dips, bumps, and road defects. Springs, dampers, and other components work together to form an absorptive lattice that cushions your ride. JDMuscle has a wide array of suspension parts designed for the 2022 WRX, so feel free to ask any questions you may have about increasing the stability of your Subaru.

Top Benefits of Suspension Upgrades

Why should you consider adding performance parts to your Subaru suspension system? It depends on your priorities, but you can count on a more comfortable ride with lowered springs and customized sway bars.

From coilovers to improved control arms, parts installed by our mechanics help you experience the following benefits:

  • Adjustable ride height: You can personalize your car by lowering or raising the suspension system.
  • Increased load capacity: Whether you haul firewood or cinder blocks, heavy loads put your suspension to the test. Update your suspension upgrades to carry heavy loads with ease.
  • Improved safety: There's a lot riding on your tires. For optimal safety, choose from the superior suspension components in our inventory.
  • Increased clearance: Raise your suspension to protect your undercarriage or for aesthetic purposes.
  • Improved stability: With the right components, you can improve the stability and control of your Subaru. 
Control Arms

Control arms allow your wheels to glide upward and downward and attach the wheel to the frame. The camber and toe of the control arms handle the tilt and angle of the car. Improved handling is one pro offered by control arm upgrades. On the con side, it's a labor-intensive process better left to the professionals, making this upgrade more expensive than some other suspension mods.

Coilovers

Coilovers include shock absorbers and springs mounted and installed as a single unit. Use them to achieve the desired ride height for your car or truck. On the upside, coilovers present an aggressive profile and offer better handling performance. On the downside, coilovers used to lower your car may result in scrapes and damage to the undercarriage.

Sway Bars

Also called anti-roll bars, sway bars attach the wheels to the axle. These metal rods can help prevent a rollover in case of an accident. Take tight corners confidently with a customized sway bar that puts control back in your hands. The pros of sway bars include upgraded stability and an inexpensive price tag. The cons of this suspension upgrade include decreased ride comfort due to a stiffer ride. Keep this in mind when deciding if adding a custom sway bar will help you achieve your goals.

Strut Tower Bars

The engine bay and strut tower connect via strut tower bars, which provide chassis support when you round corners. What are the advantages of installing aftermarket strut tower bars? High-quality bars stiffen the chassis and are easy to install. Disadvantages include the potential to get a poorly designed strut tower bar, which can lower handling performance.

End Links

Your Subaru WRX comes with standard end links that connect the control arm and sway bar. This part provides the flexibility needed to move the sway bar vertically. When you install quality end links, you make your sway bar more effective. Installation of end links on the 2022 Subaru WRX involves tight spaces, sometimes complicating the installation process.

Bushings

Made of rubber or polyurethane, bushings cushion connections between metal components. Add upgraded bushings to absorb vibrations without restricting suspension system movement. Some polyurethane bushings exacerbate road noise, so ask our pros for assistance in choosing the right material for your new bushings.
