I usually hate GT-style spoilers, but the tS spoiler does it for me for some reason. I wouldn't ever consider it seriously unless I was running forced induction. At that point, for me it's a must-have.

It would be harder for me to get a new trunk since the cheapest I've found a new trunk from is Subarugenuineparts.com and they won't ship any body panels. I could probably get it for the same price through my local dealer, though... then I'd have to get it painted. More $$$.

I am not sure that it will cause more different between (STI Bilstein
shocks+ new STI spring) and (Bilstein B8+ standard pink spring)
How do you think?
Thanks.

As with most parts, unless you're pushing your car to its limits the differences will be too subtle to notice. Looking at the cost of the brake kit off the ts, I would expect similar price gouging on the suspension set up anyway. As bilstein has always worked closely with Subaru, I don't see the B8 as a compromise.

Is anyone buying this car and not pushing it to the limits? They designed it for easy access to them

Almost Stalker Status...

I'm glad to be the only BRZ going the "STI" route in Alaska. This thread helps to keep my focus strong! Bilstein coil overs are where it's at.

I think the prices are ridiculously high because the factory doesn't want the masses to drain the inventory of these spare parts.

I was also thinking a higher price reduces the possibilities of knock-offs super early. To a degree?

I almost pull the trigger to buy the Bilstein B8. (I have already bought
the standard pink STI spring, but have not yet install.)
I change my mind after I carefully reading the STI website again.
(I put it in Google translate)
http://www.sti.jp/parts/catalogue/br...0330AS000.html


It sounds like standard pink STI spring is designed for the Stock shock.


Bilstein B8 (or STI tuned Bilstein) might match with new pink STI spring (front is different than standard one) and 18 inch wheel better.


Thanks.
