tS rear stopper

I saw that BRZ tS has rear stopper fitted to the subframe. 2013 model has upper, 2015 model, lower.
Do you think that fitting both is a good idea? It would be something similar to Beatrush kit...
BTW, I have the STi bushings...
Thanks!

I wouldn’t do both, or why have done the compliant, STi subframe bushings to begin with?

Did you end up installing both the upper and lower? Seems it would be similar to the Whiteline inserts approach. I have ordered both the upper and lower and 4 of the longer subframe bolts.

Yes, I fitted upper and lower on the front, and just upper on the back (lower are not compatible) with longer bolts. I have the STi subframe bushings too.

That's helpful information, thanks!
How much improvement do u think the subframe bushings add (as opposed to just the stoppers?). How difficult were they to install?

The frame bushings are a great improvement, a lot of traction. Furthermore, the front ones are not slotted, so there is no risk of the subframe moving.
They are quite expensive to fit.
The stoppers are a good help.
