QUESTION ABOUT A 2015 BRZ
 

Hi there! Im new here, as this will be my first post!So I just managed to get my hands on oem suspension with under 2 k miles for 100 bucks, but theyre from a 2020 brz, I have a 2015. My question is, is it possible to put 2020 suspension on a 2015? Or are there issues?

If they physically bolt up then should be fine. Be a pioneer. Try it and let us know for the next guy who asks

Oh boy...i was hoping i wasnt the first[emoji3061][emoji3061][emoji3061] i might be as slow as my car, but what do you mean if they bolt up? Sorry if im coming like dummy dumb[emoji29][emoji29]

They work just fine. Why do you want to replace your 2015 suspension though? There is no perceivable gain , just Toyota saying they changed damper rates..

If they are a close enough size/shape that you can get bolts into them. For a pretty extreme example: if the tophat has 2 bolts instead of 3, it's not gonna fit. Or if the length is different. I dunno if youre first but you're the first I've seen ask. Worst case scenario your have to put your old ones back on

Its more that one of my coil over is clunking and popping when turning, so i figured it may be worn and older as they came with the car, so i thought id go back to stock oem suspension in the meantime, and try it out as i never had oem suspension, and i got a bomb deal on 2020 suspension , so i thought, why the heck not, but i just want to make sure they fit and work on a model 5 years older, but it sounds like they do!

Ahhhhh makes more sense! The front have 3 bolts and the back have 2, so that seems pretty normal! It seems that it may work, so why not try it!

I've done this (replaced with 2018 GT86 suspension) on my 2015 brz and it all fits perfectly.

Check https://parts.subaru.com or https://parts.toyota.com. Compare the part numbers for the suspension bits. That'll give you a better idea for compatibility.

Possible is a relative thing... my 2005 Subaru Impreza wagon has Forester brackets, Outback Sport springs, aftermarket trailing endlinks, AGM (STi basically) adjustable dampening struts... Gives it a mild lift I didn't include the spacers I had so it's only like an inch instead of 2 like my 03 WRX had. Mostly it was all bolt on.. Just remember that of you mess with any of the geometry you mess with ALL the geometry. (most everything is adjustable though). I assume* (not sure) it will mostly be bolt on which is what I think you are asking but I've seen VW beetle monster trucks possible is a very relative thing.

I think you are complicating it way too much. The OPs question is very simple, is a 2020 BRZ suspension backward compatible with a 2015 MY and the answer is Yes it is 100% compatible.

There is nothing pioneering in this. It has been done many many times but for different reasons.

@multyvers7 I'll try to help again. Yes 2020 suspension is fully backward compatible with a 2015 MY. I've been there done that...
The only difference is the spring rates between 2015 and 2020 with the latter being more Road biased.
