Pardon my ignorance, but I’m a GR86 owner and wondering if these fit my duck bill spoiler. BRZ colors are completely different, right?

this is just my opinion based on everything I've seen but I think the BRZ spoiler will work on the gr86 if you didn't get the extra spoiler option on it. As for the colors yes the BRZ has different colors but I've only heard about there being two versions of the spoiler a black one and a metallic grey one but ive only seen pics of the black one.

It looks like Subaru Australia has released more STI parts.

The carbon wing costs a small fortune.

I recommend google sti flexible v bar. There is a few videos and reddit threads on the topic. in short people love them. I have one on my car but it came with it so I don't know any different without it. I can say based on what I've gotten out of the videos and threads hold true on our crappy pothole roads in PA. If I hit a hole it seems the absorb the impact better than other cars I owned. Also when driving the twisties the car carries itself through the turns rather than the normal body roll other cars have. It is probably more than just the v-bar but it's definitely a player in the way the car handles.

You can buy the flexible v-bar in the USA now. It is listed on the Subaru accessories page.

Midnight - I bought the flexible V bars for the car and replaced the solid black bars with it.

I'm a terrible judge of upgrades - I do them because tinkering on cars is half the hobby not because I'm sensitive to driving them. I could not for the life of me tell you exactly how they feel better on street or on track.

The concept behind them makes sense to me, if I'm even understanding it correctly. Effectively you get one range of motion (say horizontal) without being penalizing on another range (say vertical). So the car is supposed to feel better over bumps but maintain the rigidity when you turn the wheel and load gets transferred left to right. Again, I may be completely misunderstanding how these things work but to me that makes sense and is a pretty trick part.

I also did the flexible cross tower strut bar from the gen 1 car - it fits no problemo on our second gen cars. I also did the STI springs and lateral link set (rlca + toe arm). They installed without any issues.

The rear draw stiffener is another story though; I have that part as well, USDM cars have different crash bar supports. I could not get the draw stiffener to mount without modifying the bar supports. I've got some pics floating around in the tall thread about those notches that I needed to cut and have some more close up pics if anyone needs it. I should reach out to Subaru and let them know - unless I missed something.

Any pics of the with the STI springs?
Assuming you purchased the zd8 specific ones from Japan?
