Lots of stuff are coming out man...just wait...will have lots of options...and coilover kits are no problem...its super easy for any coilover shop to put together a set up for you...once they have the measurements here in the states, be popping out like popcorn, and wheels, no problem, just pick your size and offset, its not like its 5x100 which is a bitch...

I honestly don't mind the HU.
As long as it has Bluetooth and sounds OK, then I'm good. Right now I'm using a AUX jack that needs to be grounded badly. It's all crackly and I have to readjust the jack when I hit bumps. So, yeah, the stock Scion HU would definitely be an upgrade. Of course I'd like the Bespoke unit more, but it's not worth $900 more. |

Model\Trans MT AT FR-S 2,785 2,806 BRZP 2,762 2,809 BRZL 2,776 2,882 So, the lightest is BRZP-MT, heaviest is BRZL-AT. If these numbers are accurate, my bets are that the differences are due to the following: 1. The BRZP-MT is lighter then the FRS-MT because the FRS's stereo unit is older/heavier, plus the external amp. Also the front fascia and headlight assembly is cheaper\heavier. They both have same amount of materials to control NVH. 2. The BRZP-AT should be lighter than the FRS-AT (add 31 lbs for AT), but the BRZ has more materials for NVH (AT users should welcome/expect this.) 3. The BRZL MT weight is wrong. No way that the features of the Limited cost only 14 lbs. Just the wiring harness for all the sensors and components of keyless entry will weigh more than 10lbs. We also got dual climate, spoiler, leather seats with heater. etc. This is a more sensible explanation than claiming that there is a 106 lbs difference between the MT and AT versions of the BRZL, even if the AT BRZL has the most NVH materials. |

That's a typo on the website I think. 2758 on official documentation, 2785 on website. Considering the BRZ has a NAV headunit and HID headlights, it makes sense there's a 4lb difference; the FR-S shouldn't weigh less considering it has a few less things (e.g. trunk liner).

Based on some articles, I am revising the weight lists as:
Model\Trans MT AT FR-S 2,758 2,806 BRZP 2,762 2,809 BRZL 2,776 2,822 Now it makes more sense... |

4 - 30 lb difference doesnt matter to me. I'm surprised that you would even think twice about such a marginal difference. They are the exact same machine. That being said I'm glad I got to see these specs.

No doubt, but the numbers were conflicting, and to this day, 2,882 for BRZL-AT on Subaru's website is wrong. There is quite a bit of difference between mid 2700 and almost 2900!

Doubt it, they'll probably be sourced by Toyota USA, and be different from anything shown in Japan.
