Are the strut position the same? Do old strut bars and the master cylinder brace work between the two?

Coilovers are confirmed to swap from first gen. Looks like quite a few people have installed those coilvers. The MC brace I have not tried yet. The interesting thing is that the car has a lot of stability and a lot more grip compared to the gen1. Even on the Primacy tires. |

Very interesting remark about the longer tube intake manifold. It looks they were trying to optimize more the middle torque curve.

Are the swaybars interchangble between the two?
I was curious and was planning to just swap a used Subaru WRX rear sway bar in the brz to get it more tail happy

I'd start with the alignment, perhaps some negative front camber is all that's needed to make the car less prone to understeer. |
