Here is the 2008 Impreza's rear suspension from the side. The difference in angle between the upper and lower control arm pivot axis contributes to the new car's anti-squat characteristics. The shocks are now mounted on the rear of the upright and are much shorter, taking up less space and not intruding into the cargo area. Obviously, the new base-model Impreza 2.5i has rear drum brakes. Although drums are not the desired stoppers for performance driving, we preferred the new car's firmer and easier-to-modulate pedal feel.
