Interesting stuff, @krayzie! Do we have a Subaru part number on the new "C-Type" bolts?

What new "C-Type" Bolts?

According to the article translated by krazie, the "New bolts" were already added to model year 2014.

Fair enough, I should have written "Later B-Type and C-Type". Anyway, does anyone know the part number for those reinforced bolts?

No idea what the part numbers are. Someone with a 2014 should take a picture of their rear suspension shock bottom bolt and see if the bolt head matches the new design.

My B-type was made in August 2013 so I don't know if I have it (I don't have jacks). The funny thing is that according to Subaru Japan's website (can't find the link anymore), B-type production started in September 2013, my car was made in August 2013.

Mine is ZC6BYE8. The first 3 chars are the car model (ZC6 == BRZ), 4th character denotes type (A == MY2013, B == MY2014, C == MY2015), last 3 chars denotes the build spec and trim (YB == North America, last digit 8 == Type S trim, 7 == Type R trim and 6 == Type RA trim).

I think S stands for Superior, R stands for Regular, RA stands for Race Application.

That article says that the bolts were changed in the middle of the B-type / MY2014 run, so only the newer 2014s would have it.. also it only speaks of the shock mounting bolts, not the ones in the steering system?

I believe the steering rack reinforcement comes only on the BRZ tS, not all 2015 models.

I just called Subaru and they have all those parts in stock now. I also verified that the USDM 2014 models use the updated bolts. Ordered a set. Will be picking them up soon.

i haven't seen the new wrx/sti in cwp - i'm assuming it's still not like a pure white is it?

So I just checked out the Subaru Japan BRZ site and they have photochopped all the press pix to reflect the changes with the MY2015 model.

I now see that both R and S trims will have stitched knee pads as standard.

And even the cheap 2014 FRS have stitched knee pads. WTF SOA!!

see that thread/page looks like they're off the 2015's....

Well...according to head office the only way to get the STi rims is with the BRZ SE. :/

They won't be available otherwise.
