In 2013, they were launched at 3,700 (which is about 4,714.13 today). They were pretty expensive.

In 2018, ohlins updated them for 2nd gen at price point of 3200 (3,780 with inflation factored in).

I saw those on Tire rack without mounts for 2290.

Ohlins said they are coming with 2nd gen specific ones.

I am curious about few things

1. How and why did the price changed so much through years? If you knew price point in between year, please do share those.
2. Since weight and weight distribution is pretty similar between gen 1 and gen 2, what else affects performance that they change it for 2nd gen. I understand changes needed for 2nd engine specific parts, I am just trying to understand suspension.

I own BRZ which would be my daily for I don't know how long. I have Kia Stinger as well and soon getting a Honda pilot as 3rd car with baby on the way. BRZ is pretty easy to drive through city and park at work. At this point I am just learning about my needs and wants to be frank, so all opinions, thoughts, experiences welcomed.
