Yeah here they just came in that glossy black in 17x7 which looks nice also. But I'll probably just stick to my stocks rims. ~ Oh right, I completely forgot about the RS 2.0 lip! That would be a good choice also. I see a lot of FRS/86 with the STI lips...however those are probably reps so they fit the bumper. Not sure if the STI authentic fits or not?

If I were to buy a FRS, it would be the RS 2.0 since it's basically the same look I was after. |

Maybe we'll be able to get the Sachs later via the parts department if they prove worthwhile. Of course that will only work if they are a drop-in replacement with no other changes. One tester preferred the standard shocks on the track, liked the slight roll they gave lol |

There are good aftermarket parts that would work as well or better at probably far less cost. That is why I never rely on driver reviews of a car since 99% of what they say is influenced by their own preferences. Driver reviews are the worst possible way to say one is "better" than the other since there is zero real data to be had. Even track times can not be used since the slightest variable can change the results.

This is all premature talk anyway, all of the things being thrown around as fact are just marketing jargon until someone actually drives an equipped model. The only comment on the performance package suspension that I read in a review thus far wasn't even positive |

Having now watched that video from ZF Sachs AG, I'm totally in to all her sexy talk.
'Two valves on the piston rod' 'Road based excitations' and 'External excitations' ...certainly turns ME on. |

You won't notice any big improvements from suspension. It might settle a bit better on bumps or track curbs, but that's all. I agree that it is not a great benefit for the street and even on the track is for professional drivers. The suspension on our cars is already very good. Only reason for changing the suspension would be the occasional rear bottoming, but I doubt that Sachs can do anything on this.

Doubts on the yellow were reinforced when I walked around a '17 CWP in a dealer lot last night, I found it stunning in virtually every respect; the white body contrasted with the black accents to great effect. Not that the '16 CWP nearby was unattractive, but by comparison it seemed blander and a bit dated. |
