...oh wait a minute.

Lets not even mention the axles overheating, puking and dying. Or spun rods due to oil pressure loss with the shitty boxer oiling system.
Fuel starvation is pretty common with various cars on sticky tires and can usually be solved by filling between sessions. Axle issues aren’t really that prevalent within 1” or so of stock height. Oil pressure is probably the most glaring issue, but keep oil temps in check and use the right grade oil for your operating temps and you should be fine for typical track usage.

All that is different than not being able to design a simple steering knuckle with an adequate engineering safety margin. If you don’t trust Subaru to do that, I’m not sure why you’d own a BRZ to begin with.
