Even Subaru knows they made a mistake with the first version. The FRS was the worst with its harder rear springs, the GT86 was a bit better and the BRZ best but not until 2017 did they fix the serious deficiency in their choice of rear spring rate. I realized this within a few weeks of buying mine. It took nearly four years for anyone to build the correct rate rear springs to fix the problem. Most buyers had to resort to lowering springs or fitting stiffer springs front and rear to get the chassis to work properly, both of which solutions were incorrect.

Yep. They slowly dumbed down the suspension to hit what the average driver would want no doubt about that. Probably just the beginning of turning the car into a Genesis coupe clone. Many buyers (on here) would change the suspension even if it was the best ever made. The 17s will get changed at the same rate as the prior years will.
