^ Why do some carmakers insist on slathering their driving vids with loud music like this when all we want to hear is the car? Maybe they think the sound of their new baby just doesn't cut it.

STI is not what it used to be
"The suspension is equipped with a 10mm low-down coil spring. The damper is said to be the same as the standard car. The brakes are the same as the standard car." Source of article : https://car.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1322468.html |

Back in the day, STI had multiple spring options, adjustable struts, adjustable coilovers, swaybars, suspension arms, and so on. Some were JDM accessories you could still get from your dealer, some were only available through an aftermarket shop, and then there were all the Group N parts. And then there were the almost sorta kinda factory backed Prodrive parts. We basically got our start selling some of the JDM and Prodrive and Group N parts more than 15 years ago.
Times have definitely changed! I like some of these BRZ parts but you can tell the STI focus has changed a bit over the years. - Andrew |

Well, I would like to be honest. It is not always a fault of the vendors. If people are cheap and they don't buy, then we should not always blame STI or TRD. For example, one year ago STI designed a titanium muffler. It was build in limited pieces, because it was hand made. How many did they buy it? A very limited number when they saw the actual price! STI thought that the interest would be high enough and they were saying at first to make a lottery. At the end the muffler didn't sell and they had to make it available to the public. People attracted by Subaru or Toyota are not willing to pay for a high quality part comparing to people attracted by other brands (e.g. Porsche). I had in many cases a personal experience too, where I would sell a high quality or low used part. People would message me to ask the price and then they would just look around in ebay to find a cheap or highly used and beaten up part. Unfortunately, it is what it is and I don't see changing in near future.
