ST XTA compatibility with newer model BRZs
 
I was planning on buying ST XTA suspension, but on their website it says that it isn't compatible with the newer 2018+ model BRZs or GT86s. Can anyone confirm that these fit on newer models of the car?

Yes. Nothing changed.

Please post a review if you buy it, I heard great things of this kit on our cars...

I have them installed on my 86.

Have a look at the RaceComp SS1 thread. My experience corresponds to those in that thread, albeit the valving is not the same, and the spring rates.

You get a KW V2 damper (in a galvanized plain steel body), KW Clubsport camber plates (I didn't notice any additional increase in NVH) and slightly stiffer spring rates than KW V3, all for a great price.

Thanks for the info everyone, will post a review when I buy and install them.

Since you're from the states, I would rather get my hands on @Racecomp Engineering SS1:

Basically an ST XTA which received some tender loving care (revalving and matching spring rates) from the guys at RComp.

If I weren't from Europe, I would be all over them :) (Import taxes kill the competitive price of the SS1).

I did look into those, but they $300 more expensive compared to the ST XTAs I am looking at.

Either way, you'll be getting a quality suspension kit.

Racecomp has been a very strong/positive community supporter and contributor and I wouldn't mind the increased price difference.

In return, you would be getting a much better after-sales support.

Don't forget a quality suspension alignment, after installing the suspension assembly.

Take care :)
