The steering rack mod, with the STI bushings, is a very noticeable improvement. Really worth it in my opinion.
The rear suspension bolts, I didn't quite feel any difference if I am honest. So, I guess you could spare the cash for something else? I guess I wouldn't have done it if I had known, but oh well, moar OEM goodness

Any guidance where or how to install the STI bushings? Is that easy to install?
Since I cannot see in the picture from the article(Blog). By the way, where you bought this parts? Could you provide the link? Thanks again. Quote:

The busing were fitted by my dealer, I know he had hard time. He used a hydraulic press but a bushing removal tool could be used too. Either way, not a job for a poorly equipped noob like me.
For the parts, I usually deal with http://www.suruga-performance.com ; shoot them an email with the part numbers you want and tell them Guillaume S. sends you

How about the "ST20176AS000" for rear suspension? I did not see it in the blog. http://minkara.carview.co.jp/en/user...3243/note.aspx Is that necessary and is this difficult to install as the bushing? Thanks. |

That one is pretty easy to install. If you want the real 'tS' specs, you should install it although the stock one will work too.

I forgot to ask. I bought from the Japanparts.com most of the time and never try other. Is the suruga-performance has better deal? Any idea? Thanks. |

I knew and dealt with Suruga before I heard of Japanparts so I never really compared. I am super satisfied with them though: great communications (they're Swiss guys based in Japan, not Japanese), packaging always top notch and the prices are pretty much JDM prices + shipping.

What I never understood was why they went with the grey color scheme on the current BRZ tS. Completely unmatched to the rest of the black/red interior. Should have looked like this current tS concept interior from the beginning

You crazy! It's beautiful BECAUSE it's yellow!
I've had an ongoing project of transforming my interior to a red/black theme. This interior is BEAUTIFUL.
