For someone with a new car, that $399 can be (minimum) 1 year/12k miles warranty, and at least the shocks are covered for up to the 3 year base warranty.

Not bad for some lowering springs taking into account the warranty coverage.

Don't even need to bother with these. The fronts are 9% stiffer and the rear are 6% stiffer. Very small change comparing to stock. Same for the drop. There are better alternatives or go for a quality damper/coilover kit.

My STI Pinks from Japan lowered the car 15mm. Not sure why they decided to go with only a 10mm drop since the 15mm drop is already barely even noticeable. In fact nobody notices except for me haha.

Turns out these are not designed to be used with the Sachs dampers of both the PP and tS. The ‘18 BRZ catalog states they are not applicable to these cars.

Yes as long as not PP.

Anyone know why these are "not applicable" to Limited with Performance Package? Are they not compatible with the Sachs dampers or Subaru America is just saying that for liability reasons?
