Hard to believe a WRX outhandles a Miata or a Mustang, unless it's snowing. I guess I've only ridden in modified Miatas and never one that was completely stock. But the WRX being AWD is just so high off the ground, I never thought of it as a good handling car. Whenever I've been on track with WRXs, whatever Mustang I've been in totally walks by them with no issues whatsoever. And they really hold me up in the corners.Also I found the WRX to waaaayy outhandle the Miata. Kind of what put me on this mission. The Mustang only weighs 350-400 pounds more than the WRX. With IRS and all I feel I can get close enough.
I guess the stock PP1 suspension is pretty soft and it does allow the car's body to move around a lot. That can be unnerving. For handling and street driving I love my car with the FP track handling kit on it. Yes it lowers the car, but there's no issue with bottoming out anywhere. It's slightly firm for a daily driver, but not bad at all. Definitely softer than my Fiesta ST stock suspension.
