It will be easier on the BRZ/FR-S. With classic DOHC Subarus, the plugs are right next to the frame rails. So they're a pain to change.

With the BRZ, apparently you just need to remove the wheels and fender liners to get at the plugs.

Nah, plugs are not too shabby. Once you have the correct extensions/joints it goes quickly.

Someone on the forum said you have to jack-up the whole engine. Not true huh?
