I am getting the US 2018 BRZ tS. However, your JDM-spec tS sits much lower than the US-Spec. If I were to get the "STI tS Sport Springs", will I sit at the same ride height as you and not unbalance the geometry of the US spec tS?

What's the point to pay +10k for a factory tuned car and then start playing around? Especially on the suspension area. The springs on the US 2018 BRZ tS model have been perfectly matched with the Sachs dampers and the newer chassis re-inforcements. The older JDM-spec tS model had springs for the Showa dampers and overal matching was based on an earlier specification car.

The one you want wouldn’t be the SKU I have, but the pink springs on the upcoming JDM STi sport, which is paired to the same Sachs dampers.

Great news! A new part has been released no need to get creative! Haha.

You wouldn't happen to have these on the way over would you? I am pretty intrigued of what they would like. Perhaps a little too flashy?

If you google “TRD door handle protector” you’ll find lots of hits.
These look like the same part with the STI logo now.

Nah, they look a little odd to me. There's clear bra in that area on mine to protect against scratches.

Ah right, I am still not 100 percent sold on them yet. Wish it was just the clear bra material with the STI logo similar to the rear bumper protector.
