The BRZ system is. Bodyroll would not pull on the subframe from the swaybar links, making it move, which isn't desirable.

If you fit solid subframe bushes to a GR86, it's effectively the same as a...

Not only would +49 be useless for inner front clearance, even with coilovers in many cases, even the rear would be an issue for inner clearance.

It was a serious question about the engine height, not a sarcastic one. I was asking how you know that the overall height of an LFX will be OK. "I measured" would have been an appropriate answer.
