Also, aren't the USDM Pink springs a 10mm drop and the JDM Pink Springs 15mm? It's interesting that it's different.

Sorry...I thought it was closer to $28.5k for PP manual based off of people buying '17 model year. Didn't prices in general go up a bit for 2018?

The tS also comes standard with the JDM underbody aero panels:

Does the car come with any hidden sti parts like lower control arms or axles?

Not that I know of. IIRC, many of the improvements the ‘13 tS brought to the table were integrated into the standard car over time (like how all ‘18’s get the reinforced unibody of the ‘18 tS.) The draw stiffeners are hidden. According to the other 86 owners I met with, the tS seats have much better bolstering, but that may just be the standard Limited bolstering.

For some reason I thought that the tS seats had better bolstering too. It’s not like the shape is different or anything, but the material is more firm then what I remember. It could be that the red leatherette is not as soft as the standard black material used on the Limited BRZ.

Finally, a pic of a black tS with full aero. (Installed this morning)

Waiting until after I pick mine up to officially post in the owner's reg. Should be soon!

why? · 02-25-2018, 10:22 AM

That black looks awesome. I'd be tempted to get black so I could get blue wheels, lol. I wonder if they changed the driveshaft or if the carbon one I have would fit. I'll have to wait to the end of the year and see if any dealers are trying to give them away, lol.

Yes! Can't wait.

Strange how the release of the tS is so spread out. Most of the people posting their tS across the internet are Canadians. Half of the tS's for the U.S. don't even have VINs yet.

My dealership sold our Black tS. It lasted two days. Our white one coming in on Tuesday (which I took my name off of) is also sold already.
