I think the BRZ versions aren't as easy to come by, I'm tempted by these and have been looking at them for a while. RHDJapan have the GT86 M/T versions listed however, but I think if you want a drop then you'd want the BRZ ones. Their shipping prices don't appear too crazy, £115-£150 to the UK.

While there may be stuff on the market with more features at lower price points, but if these fit your needs exactly or closer than the other options then why not? Why pay for features you wont use anyway and deal with drawbacks that might come with them?

Some more pics.
Springs: Shock body w/ Subaru stamping, they are the OE manufacturer of the stock FRS/86/BRZ shocks up to 2016. The front struts have different paint on the shock bolt/upright mounts, so the red paint is not prematurely worn down. Retains the look of performance shocks for longer. The biggest difference is the shock body itself. It is much longer/lower than the OE shock, even though the stroke of the shaft is shorter. Here's some comparison to a stock 2016 shock: |

Do you guys plan on demoing how the SFRD works and its benefits? I think that would be a good idea and 'help' people's decision to buy this over many of the other setups in this price range.

The only unfortunate thing about these is that they seem to use the OE sized spring & spring perch. Which means that wheels like 17x9 +45 probably won't fit.

Adjustable coilovers are great but the vast majority of people using them do not understand how to use and maintain them properly. |

Here's a little more info that I found as I'm getting ready to install a set (courtesy of the Googs translator (not much, but the picture is becoming clearer).) Waiting on camber plates and an appointment window at my favorite alignment shop.
https://translate.google.com/transla...-text=&act=url Aim of development It was possible to vary the damping force without resorting to electronic control and aimed at achieving both ride comfort and steering stability of the vehicle under various circumstances. Technical features, superiority Generally, the variable damper electronically changes the damping force by sensing the vehicle condition such as the suspension working stroke of the suspension, SFRD adopts a frequency response type damping force adjustment structure that can handle high frequencies , The frequency of the road surface is automatically determined mechanically and the damping force is varied smoothly. By doing this, it operates smoothly on a rough road surface and firmly stepping on a corner, so that the ride comfort and steering stability of the vehicle are compatible under various circumstances. |
