Wow the TRD kit went quite aggressive. I hope this is something that is offered in the USA this time around!

Looks too "organic". Too many complex lines and curves, IMO. My understanding is the changes are due to aero improvements, but sometimes function needs to take a backseat to style...

The Modellista kit is a much better alternative.

IMO There isn't a lip on earth that can make the facelift 86 front look good. Best option would be to rip it off and replace it with the new BRZ front or a 12-15 GT86 front.

Looks good to me

Way too much going on in that kit.
I was never the biggest fan of the TRD kit originally, but this one is way too much for the eyes. Looks like something a ricer would put on. I think it's not so much the TRD kits fault but just the front bumpers fault.

MCB seems interesting...

TRD kit looks terrible... but the 2017 86 looks terrible to begin with.

The installation is quite involved for these draw stiffeners, they are originally from STI. Only installed asymmetrically on the BRZ due to the design of its chassis (not sure why that is), while symmetrical on the WRX STI, the Legacy only needs one piece. :iono:

IIRC one end of the bar has a pillowball and the rod is a spring loaded pull action (I played around with the rods when I first got them).

Basically it ties the front subframe to the sides of the chassis, limits the movement of the subframe (can only be used in conjunction with the STI flexible strut tower bar and/or flexible v-bars, not sure about TRD). When cornering, the change in alignment for the front wheels are minimized.

When I take a fast corner it feels like the car gets sucked down to the ground a bit (similar feeling when cornering a 4 wheel double wishbone old Honda).
