These appear to have the same style of bolt-on chassis bracing as later model WRX's. Spark plugs appear to be the same PITA. There appears to be no STI anything for these just yet. The aftermarket looks to be swooping in on the power end of things but there's not much chassis stuff. Thoughts?  |
Welcome to the forum! theres already plenty of information in regarding the BRZ and FRS, GT86 models, floating about in here. Have fun!
For me, I have yet to take order of my BRZ, but iv had some seat time in the car and a bit of tooling, and like any modern japanese car its pretty straight forward and you can expect similar experiences you get from the WRX, LEGACY, also getting the feel of older japanese sports cars like the ae86, s13, rx7.
There are plenty of chassis and suspension mods available, we have a sub section for those also, feel free to brows the vendors on what they are offering. But before that, take time to learn your car. Even if its only 200hp it really teaches you how to drive. I came from a 300hp rx7 and a 350hp s14 and the BRZ taught me more about precision and driving fast, than actually going fast in my previous cars.
