On the contrary, Subaru engineers finally told the Toyota marketing boys to butt right out. Only now is the BRZ suitable for experienced and skilled drivers.
And, no, the buyers of current BRZ would not see any need to change anything about the suspension (or the brakes and wheels if you are smart enough to realize what a bargain the PP is) of the current version. This begs the question of whether Toyota deliberately marketed a car suitable for creating a frenzy of demand in the aftermarket.
You would eventually fit better summer tires. You would be wise to fit MCA traction brackets to cure the remaining rear suspension problem caused by using the Impreza subframe unaltered from its donor car, and you might decide to fit a set of lowering springs if you lived where ground clearance isn't important and you have no appreciation for how a softer ride can actually improve handling I.e. you are too young to really understand how suspension works.
If you were really serious you would ditch the Torsen for a clutch type LSD for reasons that are fairly obvious if you understand the difference.
