Per the STi website:

Part Number: ST20250AS000
Cost: 26,250 JPY = 280.97 USD

Subaru Tecnica International, Inc. products set a new "trailing link set" for (ZC6) SUBARU BRZ, (abbreviation: STI, President Hiroyuki larch), launched through Subaru dealerships nationwide from Thursday, February 07, to.

The pillow ball to replace the rubber bushing low sliding resistance, "trailing link set" for BRZ is able to smooth the operation of the link. This not only enhance the tracking of the rear suspension during cornering, we contribute to the effective traction transmitted to the drive wheel for lateral rigidity is improved. By attaching an already configured in combination with lateral link, I will support the linear actuation of the rear suspension.

SOA refers to this piece as the Toe Control Link.

The speed holes on them look different for one; the STI arms that is.

Basically STI is selling the lateral and trailing links separately while TRD is selling them together.

I got these in and LOVE THEM.

Keep in mind ALL of my other bushings are replaced with pillowball or a few poly bushings. So this was VERY much the missing link(pun intended).

Imagine everything under there is stiff and then the weak link is the trailing arm bushing. We swapped it out in about 10 mins and went for a few serious corners and transitions are where you feel this ONCE you have all the other bushings replaced. I also have tires, sways and 400 lb springs on T2's.

Very happy with this.

Good to see they released this because now maybe more people will be inclined to do lateral arms and trailing arms like we did back in the GD STI days( 2004 era).

I will say that once you swap ALL suspension bushings on this car and then drive a STOCK car, or even a lowered car with springs and sways BUT all stock bushings, there is a MAJORLY HUGE difference to be felt. PERIOD. No way around that.

these trailing arms were literally my missing link.

Just to be clear. STI sells the lateral WITH The toe link pictured.

The trailing arms, yes are separate.

Ummmm... What practical difference would there be between getting these and replacing the oem bush with an aftermarket bush?

DSOmegaX 03-16-2013 01:05 AM

Don't quite understand the question. These ARE aftermarket (since STI is just their in house aftermarket division).

Bushing vs. bearing.

Correct but they are an arm plus bush/bearing. My question (which was answered above) was why not just replace the the standard/original bush with a higher durometer aftermarket bush.
