Gravel Roads

[Azzudien]

I joined this forum so I would have a resource for good information to help me with my car. 99% of the information and people on this forum have been AWESOME.
Moderators really need to jump in and stop people that are spreading disinformation on these pages, because it does not help.

My 2 cents

What was involved in installing these? Any new holes to be drilled?

what a waste of time, go try to swap parts on the subframes and post a pic how well it went since audio, video, narrative and experiential-based evidence from those who race and wrench on both platforms is of no interest to your exquisite guesswork

None of this is relevant. The reason you can hammer your BRZ over gravel roads
is because it is basically the same car underneath as the Impreza, Forester and Tribeca, complete with decent ground clearance.

I have not suggested the suspension subframes or parts are intended to be interchangeable, although some are of course. They were all engineered at the same time, provide very similar driving characteristics and are very robust. In fact, one of the deficiencies of the BRZ arises from the fact that the chassis is derived from a fwd/awd platform.

From your arguments I'm pretty sure you do not understand what a platform is.

Oh my god, I finally recovered from that coilovers thread and now I found this.

You have to drill a hole into the plastic liner in each wheel well. Not a big deal. Here's a video of the process:
