There were suspension revisions made to the 2015 platform to address such issues.

They are, only the Series.Blue will get them though unless you add it on as an optional accessory if it's available.

What color were all the Series.Blues? I put a deposit down for the WRB, but everytime I see the White Series.Blue, I get the feeling I made a mistake.

More pics comparing them two please!

Really and I thought they would be included with all 2015 BRZ trims.

The underpanels are great, could be placebo also but I've noticed increased stability especially during crosswinds while running on the highway. The front under spoiler probably plays a role as well.

You should check with dealer Heuberger Motor to see you can change to White, Last I heard they still have few White Series Blue BRZ available.

I actually have my WRB reserved with them. Just want to see a few more photos of WRB and White together.

Pictures I found on nasioc of a series.blue in WRB. Looks to be untouched/unfiltered so it really shows how dark of a shade the WRB has become. Looks almost GBS in the lighting conditions it was taken in.

I checked two local dealers' incoming stock before I got mine. Santa Monica and Ladin. Both dealers had x1 Blue and x2 white. I actually met one of the other guys who picked up his car.

You can go either way. I originally was set on WRB, but I changed my mind and went for the Stormtrooper / panda scheme. The dad of the guy who got the WRB told me privately that he (the dad) preferred the white. Honestly, both colors are really nice and I'd take either one.

I'd say don't stress out and whatever you get, the color will grow on you.

Yes. One dealer offered me about $600 - $700 off the Series.Blue if I reserved it. I opted not to reserve it and waited for the cars to actually come in. That's when I showed up at another dealership with suitcase of cash. I beat that original number by a bit more.

That tells me the dealers expect to get many more of them in. Just the crazies like us will want something that quickly. If you wait, I have no doubt you could get the Series.Blue for $1500 off.

I was quoted some pretty insane discount for a Limited too, but ended up getting the Series.Blue because I liked the wheels (don't like stock wheels and really don't want big ones), suspected it came with the JDM underpanels, and felt the front lip and side skirts would give the car a better appearance since I don't really want to lower it much if at all. Lowered cars don't work if you own an older home with a driveway in El Lay county.
