A Question for those whove done tS research and builds,
I have a 2014 A/T Euro Model and Im planning a JDM TS Build. Since im in the Philippines, shipping from Japan is a bit cheaper.
I am planning to go Draw Stiffener + Flexible V-Bars, (skip tower bar) engine and diff mounts, long steering bolt, steering and differential bushings, and a 15mm rear sway bar. No planned brake upgrades except pads possibly.
But when it comes to the subframe parts, I got confused with the parts!
Looking through sub frame mods for 2012-2015 Chassis, what is the difference of these 4 links? Am i supposed to get all four? or am i doing some redundant parts?
A "STI 20250G LATERAL LINK ASSY"

B "STI 20152 FRAME SUB ASSY, REAR SUSPENSION"

C "STI SUB FRAME BUSH"

D "STI TRAILING LINK SET"

But If i search for 2016+ Chassis, there are only 2 sets that are similar to the 2012-2015. They seem to have dropped the Sub Frame Bushing and Sub Frame Assembly.
A "STI TRAILING LINK SET" - same as 12-15

B "STI REAR SUSPENSION LINK SET(ST20250ZR000)" - this set seems to be the same as the 12-15's Lateral Link assembly

Just seriously need some guidance in which of these subframe links to get.
Lastly, I noticed for 2012-2015 Chassis, There are 2 Damper Sets available,
First is a Yellow+Red Combo (Bilstein X STI)

The second doesn't say what brand, but the photo shows a Black and Silver Shock assembly, with STI printed on the shock

Is the bilstein the more updated one or are the STIs ones better for my car? I noticed the official STI.jp website only carries the Bilsteins now.
