I'd be very curious to see dimensions between the Showa and Sachs OEM struts.

Granted their is a slight flaw in this theory, because @ChrisV's car is a '14. However, if he somehow ended up with '15 dimension Konis it could still be valid.

However this is really all just major speculation on my part, a theory with no facts to back it.

There's gotta be someone I can email at my work who could give me the dimensions on the Sachs struts... haha
I believe @ksconekiller has a '14 BRZ, and he's the one with the detailed measurements showing the Koni is exactly the same as OEM.
