17-18 BRZ JDM STI shocks/struts

So there are full sets of these on eBay for about 8-900 shipped, used with about 500 miles. How do these fair versus the Sachs PP, Ts or let’s say RCE yellows with B6? Anyone have these?

These are 2020 Ts struts/springs. If you order them just make sure they have the purple stripe.

I did some research on BRZ front struts to see if there were changes and I found some cool info, but could be completely off base.


STi:

Purple stripe = 2020 Ts struts (20310CA300 / 310)
- websites also say this is the strut on the 2019 series.gray. Can anyone with that car confirm?

Green stripe or White square stamp = 2018 STi struts (20310CA240/ 250)

Performance Package/Regular:

Blue stripe = 2017/2018 Regular struts - (20310CA160/ 170)

White rectangle stamp = 2017/2018 Limited PP struts, which are also the 2019/2020 regular struts (Showa?) (20310CA220 /230)

Yellow stripe = 2019/2020 Limited PP struts (20310CA280 / 290)

Also the 17-20 regular and PP springs are the same. 2020 and 2018 TS springs are the same.

Sorry for the rant, I know it wasn’t directly related to your question lol.

Thanks. This was very helpful. I just stumbled upon them and it’s a decent price if they truly are takeoffs with very low miles. I am likely 2 years away from needing suspension but always researching what to do next.
