I like it. I'm still interested in seeing that spoiler with the lower s206 risers... I couldn't find any replicas of either one though Would have to buy BOTH spoilers to even try it.

The BRZ STI reminds me of the FRS TRD limited edition. All looks but nothing done in the engine bay... besides an additional front strut bar I THINK.

That's how the demo orange WRX STI tS from Mitaka Subaru looks like when I saw that video on YouTube, it has both spoilers installed.

Ignoring the brembo brake kit, reinforcements to the chassis in areas that were identified to flex in the normal car, retuned suspension with new dampers, springs, rear control arms, rear trailing arms, rear toe links, reinforced and larger diameter rear axles, and what you mentioned the strut bar in the engine bay (plus the one underneath the car that connects to the front axles).


Not all performance modifications exist "in the engine bay". The car was designed to improve on what the normal car is about: handling and the driving experience. It's not for everyone, but don't dismiss it as "just looks."

It's not cheap but I have yet to find another source that is cheaper than japanparts. Other places charge hundreds more after shipping for the same items

Don't forget the lighter wider wheels and better tires.
