The Prodrive Bilstein set is no longer available and ridiculously expensive anyway.

Right now, the only place in the US you can get a Bilstein shock + spring combo for WRX or STI is from us or our dealers. We custom designed a package for the Impreza in conjunction with Bilstein to just generally kick ass. Very, very capable option for the track and still awesome for the street.

So....maybe you'll eventually see something from us with a Bilstein damper and a matched performance spring.

Damn I'm excited.

We might have a few things available at launch. Maybe.

Thanks! Please keep us posted!

I want to see more pictures! I am really disappointed with the STI spec. The rear is very boring now compared to the original. However I am not in the market for a 30k+ car so I guess it doesnt really matter. At least the aftermarket has seen that look so I am sure someone will come up with something similar.

Overall it is great to see such a strong following from so many aftermarket companies already!

The car is a hit already, I love all it's variations so far.

We'll try and keep everyone as updated as possible. Facebook will be the best place for news and stuff.

The Bilsteins will take a LOT of development time so don't count on those to be available right off the bat. But other things should come pretty quickly. We're pretty thorough and very function oriented, so you can look forward to some good quality suspension performance parts from us with a unique perspective.

Damn these cars look extra sexy with rims on them, I guess I'm going to save money for aftermarket rims soon after I buy the car!

Im liking the look of the STI just a little sharpness.

I hope theres a TRD in there somewere just to see it would be sick

Anyone else see the Sebastian Vettle X2010 behind the STI.

What i'd give to see that thing for real

AS1.

FR-S, GT86, 86, BRZ...makes no difference in this context. It's a Subaru Inside.

still not enough to level the playing field.

But I am sure it will eventually

You can call it by the chassis code..that's fine. You just won't find me calling the GT86-BRZ no matter being the same car under the skin. It's a Toybaru inside.

Thanks for the pics!

Carbon hood looks AKWARD!
But I knew it would look like a square stuck onto a triangle!

I really wanted a hood on this thing like the S2000- beautiful!
I guess they want people to have easier access to the back of headlights? Or is it cost cutting???

As for exhaust, gimme a GReddy RS out the left and save 30 LBs!

I agree that the hood could have better shape than this. Maybe like the ones on FT86 II or FR-S concept. It's probably a slacked off design.
Edit: You could be right, they probably want the owner to have access to the headlight easier.

Yes at the square triangle analogy!!!

I am not sure why they designed the hood like they did... I can only think of it as away to lower cog or weight balance...... so the less metal(heaverie material) past the front the better... pastic is normally(sometimes) lighter so they used more of this in the front... unless that front bit after the hood line is metal as well that will blow my theroy out of the water :S
