No, I'm talking about the standard BRZ models. When I last looked about 800units had been sold since release date. The GT86 is a different story as they have sold a lot more.. This was due to an agreement between Toyota and Subaru..

All depends on how you plan to use it I guess. I do not need nor want big brakes or performance struts. If the Hakone had the option of getting it with or without them I would go without. For a daily driver street car that will never make use of them it is just costly bling.

All it takes is one good smack to peen a race. Then it's just a matter of time. Do you have camber plates or anything that could feed a metal-to-metal shock back into the hub. I agree that it is really strange.

Yes, I do. But my setup up until recently was pretty standard autoX/track setup.

Every morning I cross like 10 expansion joints on the Columbia bridge. The concrete in the wheel tracks is eroded at the the joints leaving a sharp transition. I am glad to have elastomeric top hats.

I am wondering if it is brake dust contamination wearing away at the seals. It should be fairly obvious if that is the case as the grease will be cakey.
