Which...I do not love in terms of handling and feel. It's a little sloppy and not very confidence inspiring, especially the rear. This isn't just me going from those 3 ways to an OEM suspension. I would still prefer the 22 dampers to any of the 1st gen OEM dampers and a lightly used set of these would be a good choice for someone looking for more comfort.
Just some quick thoughts.

Yeah I was surprised at how comfortable the oem suspension on the 22 BRZ was compared to my returned-to-stock 13 FR-S. The 2013 feels almost crashy and dare I say overdamped in comparison, but firmer and more responsive when pushed.
I’m constantly tempted to throw my RCE T2’s on my 22 BRZ (they’ll go on eventually), but for now I’m enjoying the comfort level on the oem 22 suspension.
