Well, I traded in the Hakone 86 on a 2020 BRZ tS. Why? Because the TRD spring set up really sucked and the wife was constantly bitching about it. I could have bought new coilovers and started down the mod path (big brakes, lighter wheels, better tires, etc..) and I didn't want to do that. So I took the coilover money and used it on a new tS (which got me a better suspension than the 86, better brakes, better wheels and tires, better stereo and a real back up camera lol). So the Hakone 86 went to Charlotte, NC and we did a turn and burn back to Cincy all in the same day. We left at 6 am arrived at the dealer at 1:30 pm and made it home about midnight. The 2020 BRZ tS is so much better than the Hakone 86 and the wife didn't make a negative comment the whole way home. I think that the TRD springs are not matched well to the dampers at all..that or they forgot to put the bumpstops back in....either way it sucked on Ohio roads.
