ST XTA compatibility with newer model BRZs
I was planning on buying ST XTA suspension, but on their website it says that it isn't compatible with the newer 2018+ model BRZs or GT86s. Can anyone confirm that these fit on newer models of the car?

Have a look at the RaceComp SS1 thread. My experience corresponds to those in that thread, albeit the valving is not the same, and the spring rates. You get a KW V2 damper (in a galvanized plain steel body), KW Clubsport camber plates (I didn't notice any additional increase in NVH) and slightly stiffer spring rates than KW V3, all for a great price. |

https://www.racecompengineering.com/...rz-frs-86.html Basically an ST XTA which received some tender loving care (revalving and matching spring rates) from the guys at RComp. If I weren't from Europe, I would be all over them  (Import taxes kill the competitive price of the SS1).

Either way, you'll be getting a quality suspension kit.
Racecomp has been a very strong/positive community supporter and contributor and I wouldn't mind the increased price difference. In return, you would be getting a much better after-sales support. Don't forget a quality suspension alignment, after installing the suspension assembly. Take care
