I've been told by OHLINS guys that our p\n SUS-MI20 is expected in March

FYI - it's already on sale in Japan and has a great success there, despite hella ton of respectful JDM vendors out there

also having an eye on them

Japan's Ohlins isn't the same as what we will get here in the states

They have a standard specification, but they can be customized if you go through the right dealer.

That's what I thought, it's called Ohlins BTO in Japan.

I want a set of the USA version ASAP. Where's the best place to buy?

They have the S2000 and M3 kits listed, I'm sure they can get the FRS/BRZ kits too.
