Don't really care!
The more relevant question is, "What taper thread standards are used in the automotive world, and what standards are in use on the 86s?"
Here, I've just learned something new: Subaru uses BSPT threads on oil galley plugs and so forth.
I don't have info on the 86 specifically, but it's a good bet that it uses BSPT, as well.
So I will concede that there's some logic in Sprintex' design choice. But given the failure rate of these hose connections and their general difficulty to source in the US, I think there's an opportunity here for some really excellent customer support (which was my main point).
