I think there would be oceans of options. I have to assume there are lots of parts from the WRXs that would bolt on/in.

Been wondering too...just like to give it a bit more power AND find out how to stop warping the rotors !! Many owners have this problem.

I thought that hot rodding a 4 door was the same as French kissing your gramma

There are tons of sites that have upgrade parts too, and manufactures. I started with the suspension bigger swaybars, going to do brakes next. A big factor might be what model wagon you are working with. A WRX? Just the imprezia or an STI.

First thing, STI Pinks. These will tighten up the suspension ,virtually eliminate all that nasty body roll, and lower the ride about 1 inch. About $400 for the set and they are an easy install.

can't remember which but some magazine in the past year or so did an article on tweaking the previous generation forester to near STi performance. wasn't much to it either and as i recall they were pleased with the results.
