This improvement was doubtless to address the problem on their mainstay vehicles, and was just an unexpected bonus for the twins.

I think the real issue is they took the check from a sedan and threw it on a coupe with significantly longer doors. Even if the BRZ door is lighter, the mechanical advantage will over work a check designed for a short door. The Twins are a mix of parts from Subaru and Toyota and the checks should have come from Toyota who have several coupes to pull from.
