Even people I know that claim to know a lot and have driven a lot of different cars, they still don't understand the inherit difference between Japanese and German cars. To them German cars are the best no matter what. For me only Japanese ergonomics fit my Asian physique. But I digress.  |

The only German thing I installed in my BRZ is the suspension. Some months ago I had to change the rear sway bar to the bigger '+17 OEM bar, because the rear spring rates were softish. Now I have to install camber bolts on the front, because the camber is almost zero while the rear is -1.5 degree. While these numbers are within the proposed factory ranges, I would expect something more from an aftermarket
performance part and not just comfort and a bit lower height. I've seen similar Japanese suspensions giving much better camber angles even with the stock top mounts (no camber plates) and much better rear spring rates. My issue is that I didn't get the expected result from the German part out of the box and I had to check different solutions and alternatives.
