Also, I saw somebody mention the knuckle; here are pictures I took of the front knuckle. Definitely aluminum. However, this car we were filming on was a pre-production prototype. I didn't check the cars we were driving.

Also, here's the rear suspension. The lower arms definitely seem like a thicker gauge steel than the previous combination arms. Which is good because the old LCA's often broke.

Wow so this actually suggests these are BRZs that were cosmetically modified to look like Toyota’s.

BRZ rear subframe
BRZ knuckles
BRZ sway bars if the blue marks don’t lie

Spring rates and damping are unknown though.
