If TRD offers performance parts that Subaru doesn't and they will keep me in CS, and maintains warranty, that pretty much sells me on the FRS.
Next week is the Solo Nationals, at or after which a lot of people expect the powers that be to make final rulings on all the proposed changes regarding the FR-S/BRZ in street classes: either moving BRZ and non-TRD FR-S to DS, or allowing BRZ drivers to use the TRD parts (this already seems to have received a pretty definite "no"). But the chance of a class move is still there. I'd wait until after that and make your decision once all book has been closed on that matter.

Stock suspension handles things pretty well, haven't driven a TRD equipped car yet. The FR-S is definitely more tail happy, but getting some Koni adjustables and sways can help you dial that back (or up) depending on your preference.
