The tS damper is silver and design is based on the Showa evolution line. It's not red because why would STI simply take something off the shelf, leave it the way it is in appearance and sell it to you (that would go against their marketing of proprietary tuning). I'm curious as to the difference in handling between stock 2013/2014 and 2015. I wonder if they've made the car more tamed (like late model SW20 and AP2). "Improved handling" should really be "different / revised handling", they obviously can't write "improved handling for street use" because then the racecar ricers like me would think that's weak sauce. Also, If they follow a similar formula as to the AW11 MR2, then we will probably see an engine option by 2016 that would shift the powerband towards the mid range to be more street friendly (like 4AGZE supercharged vs 4AGE n/a). I'm still glad Subaru & Toyota decided to give us the same JDM FA20 engine globally to save on development cost. If they did a FA25 or supercharged FA20 with a lower redline as the only choice for North America, then armchair forum junkies would shit on it for not having a stronger top-end like JDM (EJ20 vs EJ25 on the WRX STI).

IMO SWP looks a lot better than CWP but I guess it depends what type of white you are going for. The CWP is a lot more pure white but I like the hue to the SWP due to the property of satin paint.

It looks like the change related to the suspension is more than the list as below. (Bolt& Shock Absorber) http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...9&postcount=48 It also wrote "New suspension mounts, and using lower-friction oil, oil seals and guide bushings, have decreased body roll and increased handling stability" in the article. Any idea what part number for those which potentially we also can upgrade by ourselves without buying 2015 model? Thanks. |

Since 2015s are on their way to the showrooms, how much less should I expect to pay for a 2014 leftover?

I got mine 2 months ago here in Dallas and it was $1800 off of sticker (2014 limited) and then they took off a little more so it ended up around $26,500.

Thanks guys! There's a 14 SSM Limited at a local dealer. If I get $26k, I'll take it.

Bottom line is that if I had gone with a 2013/2014, I definitely would have switched the suspension - almost but just not quite there. Whereas with the 2015, I am totally happy with the susp. as a street and maybe occasional track car. It's an incremental improvement, but it's just really dialed in. And I did not feel that way with the 2013/2014. The possible bad part is that the 2015 susp. is so dialed in that I don't want to change anything like lower it. But lowering is kinda dumb and a PIA around where I live and work. |
