If anyone is interested, here's a closeup of the brakes and suspension (sorry for the glare on the first shot.

The tS also comes standard with the JDM underbody aero panels:

Now I realize it's just the equivalent to saying thanks.

That's awesome. I'll definitely look into the Rent-a-car thing with Toyota.

Although not my favorite tat of hers, I can respect the dedication to her fav band LOL

I do love metal though so it's tough to hate it haha

As long as the tattoo is referring to Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning, and And Justice for All.

And not Load.

LOL yeah pretty much anything after the black album can be tossed away.. Kirk didn't even write any of the songs on their most recent album :/

Underpanels have been standard since the 2017 MidCycle change, so they should be easy to get!

Geese1 · 02-22-2018, 05:45 PM

Just curious, but how different is the tuning of the SACHS dampers on the tS model as compared to the Performance Pack? I've read the literature that says the tS models are tuned different, but I wasn't sure if that was compared to the standard BRZ or one with a PP.

I'm pretty sure this is only true for the BRZ just so people know. The 86 still doesn't come with them IIRC.

The 2018 86 GT has them IIRC.

In retrospect, if you can get a tS for about $34k, that is a good/ fair deal. The suspension to me, is #1 top main thing you're paying for, that definitely adds value. Suspension parts+ paying Subaru to tune that....is probably in the relm of $2k- 2500. So add that to a price of a PP = $31.5. The other parts ( mainly cosmetic) add some value . Plus like others said, the labor involved with putting those parts on then creates further value

The reality is that you can get a Limited with PP for $26-27k pretty easily and the tS will be $34-35k... so the difference is more like $8k. Unless you really want the exclusivity of a limited run model like the tS, that $8k premium for the tS is hard to justify.

They're valved slightly different to match the different spring rates on the tS. Not a big change, but different than the PP. Part numbers are different, fwiw.
