2015 models suspension different ???

I read somewhere that the rear springs on the 15 models are different than the 14. I plan to get the Eibach Sportlines and wanted to confirm that the same model number from Eibach will fit.

Different spring rate, no change in fitment.

Do you have a chart or link that shows the stock rate for 2013-2014 vs. 2015? I specifically bought the '14 because of this reason. I got tboned on the driver's side wheel & want it calibrated exactly how the factory had it.

I will say that my 2015 BRZ does feel a bit stiffer and doesn't squat as much in the back.

I think most of the industry "experts" have confirmed that the 2015 has a much better suspension system compared to previous MY's.

Good things!

Pretty sure this was only for the FRS that garnered the praising reviews.??

You are probably right. I did read that the FRS had newer suspension, but I would imagine that the BRZ would have the same change no?
