Subaru Revs Up Performance Parts Lineup

-- Company Adds New Parts Only Limited Warranty for Select Genuine Subaru Performance Parts --

CHERRY HILL, N.J., Aug. 30 -- Subaru of America, Inc., the only car company that features Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard equipment on every vehicle in its product line, today announced the addition of new STI Performance Suspension Components to their Genuine Subaru Performance Tuning (SPT) Parts lineup and will now offer a new parts only limited warranty on select performance parts.

Among the new products are two kinds of STI brand struts and springs - one of which is adjustable. The STI Adjustable Struts and Springs feature an inverted strut and spring design with variable height adjustment and 4-position strut damping adjustment for easy modifications to the system stiffness. The STI Non-adjustable Struts and Springs increase the overall system stiffness from 50 percent to 130 percent depending upon the model, and lower the body approximately 15 mm - 22 mm. Also added to the product line are STI Front and Rear Sway Bars, an STI Strut Tower Bar, and an Aluminum Arm Kit.

"We are thrilled to offer the new STI Adjustable Struts and Springs among our expanded Genuine Subaru Performance Tuning (SPT) Parts lineup," said Bruce Barker, fixed operations marketing manager for Subaru of America, Inc. "We think they will be very popular among Subaru customers."

New Parts Only Limited Warranty

There is a new limited warranty on select performance parts that features part only coverage for one year from date of purchase regardless of mileage. It is effective immediately and applies retroactively to retail purchases going back one year.

Parts covered under this warranty include all Genuine Subaru Performance Parts that previously came with a Disclaimer of Warranties except STI Clutch Covers and Discs, Timing Belt, and Lightweight Flywheels. These items will continue to be offered with a Disclaimer of Warranties. All other Genuine Subaru Performance Parts will continue to be covered by the Limited Warranty for Genuine Subaru Replacement Parts and Accessories.

The performance parts in many cases fit a number of current as well as older model year vehicles, so owners can choose from a wide array of the most popular performance features for their vehicles. Details may be found on the Subaru Performance Tuning Web site http://www.spt.subaru.com/ and owners may purchase these parts at any Subaru dealership.
