BRZ STI parts at Subaru Dealerships?

[Carlsbad]

Does anyone know when Subaru is going to start selling STI parts that are available in Japan in US?
Thanks

[NemesisPrime909]

Probably won't

We'll just have to special order them

http://www.japanparts.com/ is a good place to start for now

They haven't announced any intent to do so probably because it's a low volume car (5900 BRZs to 16000 FR-Ses sold in the US since launch to date). One thing you can try is bug Subaru of America for it and hope other people bug them too to generate demand from a ground swell.

Like the others have said, this probably isn't gonna happen. Almost the exact same parts have been available to the WRX/STi for years now and we haven't seen anything but a strut bar.

If you can stand to wait, then do.

If you can't (like me and @switchlanez), then sign up and buy em.

At least there are some SPT parts for WRX/STI available!

Yerp. Love, love the rebadged STi parts and SPT parts. I actually had a long talk with one of the Suby higher-ups (Accessory Guy) at the BRZ ride and drive last year in NOLA. He was trying his hardest to get the parts here but it's a steady uphill battle with SOJ. They just won't give the stuff to us? Makes no sense. They just don't understand "Take all my money now!!!".

They could've sold more if they made more. Haha..

So that key fob is not even real carbon fiber, and it's $97 . If it was real carbon, I would have been tempted to buy it.

Lol good catch. I actually meant 5900 BRZs to 16000 FR-Ses.

So, everyone thinks if I want STI parts, I should bite the bullet and order from Japan?
This is my first Subaru, so if WRX guys could not get STI parts in the last ten years in US, I have no hope.

Yep, pretty much. Like I said before - If you can stand it to wait, then do. If you can't stand to wait, then order the parts.

None of our crystal balls have been working lately as to what Suby's plan is for US released Accessories.

The only thing that we have is years of experience with SOJ and SOA not playing nicely. They just haven't gotten us the parts that we want ASAP.

I am not a patient person when it comes to what I want. If it is available somewhere in the world, I will have it delivered to me.

But don't blame us if the 2014,15,16,etc BRZ comes with all of the parts that we already have installed on our cars. It is highly possible that they will release an STi version that looks just like our (@switchlanez @thermobox) cars. It's just not very probable that the USDM will receive it or the parts.

Did thermobox have car journal?
Thanks.
