Prodrive

The original and genuine, Prodrive run the Subaru World Rally Team and prepare many privateer Impreza rally cars, not to mention Ford's BTCC Mondeo's. Their web site is at www.prodrive.com and now has lots of useful information on the variious performance products available..

High quality, high cost (Prodrive, Subaru UK and your dealer are all in the chain) and sometimes conservative (to allow your manufacturers warranty to be preserved), but then again only these upgrades carry full Subaru approval. See your Subaru main dealer for details and availability (they do not deal direct with the public in the UK, but do have an export department who are happy to supply their full range of products if you live outside the UK.). Your local dealer can also supply official Rally Teamwear.
