Or are you doing such changes together with changes in the rear? I am aware that the BRZ tS has changes on the rear frame sub-assembly and the lateral links. Has anyone changed the rear frame sub-assembly?
STI actually recommends the first mod or if only one mod to the car being the flexible tower bar.

It shouldn't unsettle the car because the bar can flex vertically, so the front wheels have less of a chance to hop over uneven pavement compare to a fully rigid bar (I think that's the whole point of it). I think this is one of the reasons why old STI tower bars were aircraft grade carbon fiber, so that it can flex vertically but maintains strength laterally (same idea as now just different intepretation).

Got inspired by the 2015 tS so I have decided to add the red trim.

Not bad for a 5 minute job!

Oh well, unless I have the part numbers I'm going to have to wait a little more.

But I've run out of things to get for STi so I'm really scraping for ideas now.

Was just about to start with a STI and tS badging, but woah they are expensive!
So i just went with a rearview camera to be installed on my 2015 model first, then i can shift to performance to really add the badges for a reason.
