$300 doesn't get you too much in Suby parts.
Might I suggest an SCCA membership and 4 or 5 RallyCross entries at Kalaeloa Raceway Park? Seat time for the 02 WRX owner/driver is easily the best bang for the buck. This mod is transferable to any and all future vehicles as well.
Food for thought.

Front control arm bushings!!!! Anti-lift FTW
One of the best performance modifications you can do to any car is actually WEIGHT REDUCTION.
It helps you go and stop faster, cornering is better too.
Note: only do what you are comfortable with when it comes to weight reduction.
Some people value personal safety. I know I will die one day. I would rather it be a car crash than butt-hole cancer. I do things on a bicycle that most would think of as totally retarded. SO my personal safety isn't my top priority.
FREE STUFF
I you dont have kids, ditch the brace below the rear seat and rear seatbelts.
If your girlfriend needs a nose job anyway...remove the passenger airbag.
There is a "U" shaped brace under the center console... Useless.
Front and rear bumper beams, "U" brace under the front of the car.
Sound deadening **** on firewall.
Spare tire (usually pointless anyway unless you keep stock tire diameter)
Rear speakers (I'm not gangster enough to care for loud music)
brackets covering fuel injectors
Heat shields above exhaust
shield at rear universal joint
Anything that is held with more bolts than it needs...remove them, tack weld, tie wraps.
Do you need the black steel part of your AC compressor bracketing by the oil dipstick?
Do you need 4 long bolts holding your compresor to the aluminum bracket?
Mine have always worked fine with only 2.
Think creatively and critically, but wisely.
Don't remove your crank pulley bolt and super glue the pully onto the crankshaft or anything like that. haha

I don't drive an impreza and I got my car cause I wanted something different from everyone else. And besides you don't have to deal with driving my car so it doesn't matter anyway lol. I like what I like, you like what you like. No need for a debate about it.

WHAT??? We all have to deal with people driving their lowered cars. It is a pain when you have to wait 7 minutes for some wannabe thug to pull into a parking lot trying not to scrape his fancy lip kit or whatever. And then he gets out of his slow yet fast looking car wearing a tapout shirt, knowing he can't fight. haha.
