Either way, I'm not sold on the Sachs branding, yes they have some quality items, but the dampers used are basic cheap items with a Euro name attached. I believe, jadded view, that they were able to get roughly what they wanted from Sachs cheaper than the other "brand name" suppliers like Bilstein. I know no one that hasn't replaced their PP Sachs. Getting the PP is a no brainer for the the brakes alone, the 7.5" rims are a bonus if you want to fit 225 or 235. Unless I was replacing blown old OEM dampers I wouldn't bother with the Sachs. Opinions may vary

I went from 2013 stock to 2017 PP Sachs and RCE yellows. Love it.
Definitely a bit firmer, but overall tire control seems much better. The big bumps/undulations on some back roads I've compared are better controlled by the PP/RCE setup. |

I don't have mine anymore but what is the Sachs P/N that is "stamped" on them, not the Subaru P/N on the sticker?
IICRC I googled the Sachs damper P/N and they were around $200 a piece, Subaru P/N came in at twice that, because OEM markup I presume.

If someone who has them can looked for the stamped P/N from Sachs I can look for it in their catalog, if I can find it online again.

I don't think Sachs can sell the PP or tS dampers for the BRZ, according to patent pending it can trade these 10 years after Subaru started to sell the cars so not before 2025+, am I wrong?

Not attacking here, just curious what led you to these conclusions. Quote:
Different regions (NA vs Australia) will also often introduce different PNs for their markets. So while you may be able to find them in Australia, I highly doubt they'd get introduced for NA aftermarket. I don't think any vendors in NA will be selling them in the aftermarket, unless they're ordering or shipping from overseas. You might have a better shot being in Australia.

@Shark bait88 What do you mean by "sold on the Sachs branding?"
"Not sold on" = I wouldn't buy them. I think they are very poorly designed for purpose , too crashy on anything but a dead smooth surface. in my opinion anyway. They reminded me of a set of BC coilovers I had on a MX5, great on the track as long as I kept away from the rumble strips , rubbish on the street. As for the pricing, the performance package here costs $2200, for that you get 17 x 7.5 rims, Brembo brakes, and the Suspension. However you break it down it is a good deal, but $2200 for all that? $2200 for everything,...... compromises were made, small ones with the Brembo's (pistons), and I belive bigger compromises with the dampers. In the end this is only my view, other people may like them, but for me, on the streets of Sydney, they were crap.
