Hey guys,

So the other day I was talking to the kid I sold my 240Z to, and he said that one of his friends was a Subaru tech and that the BRZ was having issues with control arms bending or snapping, something to that effect. Aren't they the same type of stamped steel control arms in every other Subaru? Is the kid full of crap or can anyone actually confirm this? I smell
