I can and do assert that the original traction and stability control fitted to my BRZ are pretty bad. They are obviously intended for unskilled drivers. If you push the chassis at all hard you will experience the stability control taking over.
Ah so just parroting others and stating as if first hand knowledge then.
"Better" for your likes maybe, that does not make it "better" overall. You changed the suspension to suit you and that is fine but it does not mean the old one is not preferred by other people.
The traction and stability controls are all made for unskilled rivers or even skilled drivers driving under normal condition. That is why they can be toned down by a simple push of a button or turned right off by the pedal dance. No doubt though if you turned them off and curbed the car you would find some way that it was the chassis' fault not yours.
