Press Release

Yawn. $7,000 for coil overs and some utterly useless parts. Think of what you could do with $7,000 in the aftermarket.

Terb0kit?

Am i alone in hating the sti sideskirts? Front looks awesome, spats i can deal with but the sideskirts ewwww

They're just slightly shorter springs. Pretty sure they're still using the OEM dampers.

Performance wise, you could do a lot better for much less than 7k without touching the motor.

eg., tires, wheels, coilovers, and brake pads.

It seems like every n/a 2 liter Japanese sports car offers a performance pkg that is expensive without power.

i really dislike that rear spoiler, looks too disproportionate to the rear

Would have to see it in person to decide. Hey if you got the money and like factory warranty and really want someone few will have, I see no problem for the added weight.

My thoughts exactly... Was not impressed with this "offering" at all.

LMAO

That's a lotta money for a mediocre body kit, mediocre wheels, and some coilovers.

My wife likes it. Wonder if it will make it over here to check out.

I think the body kit looks nice.

For that price, I added everything plus the STi exhaust and some additional goodies...so yeah just do it yourself

At $7k it shows pretty well just how expensive a turbo model of the FRZ would be.

It definitely looks better in real life, it looks hideous in that mock up picture. If you added the STI suspension, is it real coilovers or just springs?

Just 15mm shorter springs.

I'm only interested in the lip kit. Bring it over to the US already, Subaru!

Don't count on it coming out here. SoA is not in agreement with SoJ to release these parts.

You can buy them at japanparts.com

Agreed, You could get a Rexspeed lip Kit for the exterior, some nice Enkei Rims that are actually lighter, Slotted and drilled rotors and upgraded pads, short throw shifter, front and rear sway bars and end links , catted headers and head-back cat-less exhaust, intake and tune, for equal or less money, and it would actually make the car faster.

No it doesn't, b/c 1) it's Australia so the prices aren't comparable to anything that would be sold in the US and 2) nobody would buy a turbo model that cost even more than that (okay not "nobody" but very few people).

Exactly... Which is probably a good part of the reason why there is no turbo model or plans to have a turbo model. Subaru/Toyota know they won't sell enough at 35k+ to be worth producing them.

Oh my.... for that price I rather get the Rocketbunny kit and just call it a day

The problem with that $35k logic is that Scion could easily market a supercharged FRS for $29-30k. The only person that would think a bump to $35k makes any sense is someone that considers Porsche's pricing strategy the standard of the industry.

I don't think it makes sense, but that doesn't mean that's not what they would do. I don't think $7k for the 'S' package that started this thread makes sense either. I know, $7k extra on an Aussie BRZ isn't the same, but what is, $5k? Still doesn't make sense to me. And if it is $5k for some suspension upgrades and a handful of aesthetic items, you better believe that a turbo trim is going to be price above that, especially since a turbo trim would most likely include suspension tweaks, brake upgrades and some different aesthetics...

You seem to think that I am arguing about what Toyota/Subaru could do. Don't get me wrong, I think that they definitely could come out with a turbo trim for $5k. I just think they won't and I think the price of this BRZ S package is some good evidence for that.

Can buy a lot of STI stuff from japanparts.com.

Honestly I would just look at the pricing for the impreza to get an idea of what an actual brz sti would be priced at: WRX starts at about 26k, STI starts at about 34k. So a 7k-8k premium sounds about right. And no, the brz s is not by any indication what the sti would be like. Again, all those parts are accessories. STI has been releasing parts like these across their full like of subarus for a long time. We just don't see them usually outside JDM.

That 7k extra for the S model is really paying a premium to have everything covered by your warranty and insurance. It's peace of mind that parts are built, received, and installed without issue. So yes, while I built my car to that spec for a lot cheaper, all my parts are gray market. Even through japanparts, they forewarn that they are NOT liable if parts are damaged even upon receipt. This was definitely nerve racking for me when my exhaust was being shipped considering how expensive the part is. Also, I was recently involved in a small accident that damaged one of my side sills, so yes, I have to replace my set out of pocket. If you look at STI parts through bulletproof auto versus japanparts or nigel, they are actually hundreds more and that's because bulletproof will warranty their items for a certain time period; that's why its more expensive.

Exactly, this package would be great for someone who is looking to keep their warranty.

Does the spring same as JDM STI one?

I feel one looks pink and the other is red.

Thanks.

I really like those wheels...
