It still stands and has been published in writing that a Bilstein suspension is being developed for the BRZ by STI (close-up pics of it are floating on the web). The white BRZ STI looks lower than my car from all the different angles/shots (again, overall diameter of 18" vs. my 17" are essentially the same so no illusion there). Suspension tuning would be the #1 reason to invest in testing a car on the 'Ring over aero/power tuning. That said, why the heck would they be testing a set of springs that have long been released to the public?
