Black looks great. I want to see Red before I make up my mind. Blue is going to be most people's pick on the BRZ I believe so I am going to stay away from it...

Red or Black ftw!

I love the stance of the STI, hopefully the Bilstein/STI damper & spring combo will be available at launch.

Same here! I'm stuck between a white or red FR-S.

Greddy/Scion Racing, Papadakis Racing, ASD/Falken Tire. Just because we've only seen one doesn't mean other American teams haven't been developing one.

Scion sends cars to Eibach (OEM for their lowering springs) and TEIN. They also sent the tC to Germany for H&R. The GReddy drift car is sponsored by KW. We already know about Subaru's relationship with Bilstein.

I wouldn't worry about aftermarket choices.

Red or Black ftw!
Red is my favorite color and I would also like to see it in red but I already own a red car so might want to try something different. I'm leaning towards white cause you really can't go wrong with that color and black is very hard to keep clean. Once I see red it may be another color I consider.

I doubt it....all of the impreza STI Bilstein stuff has been "japan only." The Prodrive Bilstein set is no longer available and ridiculously expensive anyway.

Right now, the only place in the US you can get a Bilstein shock + spring combo for WRX or STI is from us or our dealers. We custom designed a package for the Impreza in conjunction with Bilstein to just generally kick ass. Very, very capable option for the track and still awesome for the street.

So....maybe you'll eventually see something from us with a Bilstein damper and a matched performance spring.

Damn I'm excited.

We might have a few things available at launch. Maybe.
