I seem to remember old threads about it; consensus was that it's normal, I think?

However, my old Legacy (with a similar Subaru flat 4 in it) got it worse.
It flashed dash lights and even stalled when the AC kicked in at idle.
The dealer fixed it by tickling the throttle body and resetting the ECU.

Mine as well but he said "comes back up to 700" so just how far is it dropping? It will be interesting to see if the problem goes away when he flashes back to stock

Flash back to stock and re-check.

update: The car got flashed back to stock tune and drive couple miles, the vibration still there. I did take the car into the shop check for engine mounts, but the mounts still holding fine. I also did some research in the forum, ppl are having uneven engine vibration from the early model year, but didn't mention anything about steering vibration. Does anyone owns a 2013 model year have the same steering vibration? I hope this is normal for our car.

I have had one 2012 and one 2013 GT86 and never had any vibration.
Just to confirm, does this happen when standing still? (Excluding tires and wheels)
What is your idle RPM when this happens?
Does it stop vibrating of you rev up in neutral?

It's only happening at idle, idle RPM about 700, it does go away when I rev up in neutral. now I'm thinking the header contacts the steering rack or something.

I've driven many different flavors of the 86. Other than the occasional little *ahem* when the AC compressor engages, this thing idles pretty smoothly.

I drove a 2015 BRZ and a 2014 frs, both steering wheels don't have any vibration that's why I start to worry about mine.

I have a 2013 and no steering vibration (bought it fall 2012 , so one of the early ones)
