Yes, that is my assumption because the piece looks to be similar in dimension to the Subaru WRX 4100 perch which is designed to work with the oddly shaped factory spring perch. From my understanding it put the bump/droop travel in the right position for use with the factory mount in that application. The spring perch on the BRZ does look to be a different design, so the same may not apply. However, I think the bump stop should be able to move further up the shaft before beginning to compress. We won't know for sure until it's tested, but if it is unusable stroke, I think there is still more room to extend the bottom portion.
