2018/2020 tS Suspension Part #'s

[Tatsu333]

My apologies if somebody has already posted these somewhere, but I've searched the forums for hours and also searched on subarupartsdepot.com, and I can't find the part # for the 2018/2020 tS Flexible V-Bars.

If anyone has that part #, it would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sure these are posted somewhere else, but for future reference for anyone who comes across this thread to have everything in one place, the Flexible Draw Stiffener is part #20107CA010 and the pre-drilled/threaded cross-member to mount it to is part #20101CA010.

I googled "brz v-bar" and the top result is the STI website for their flexible v-bar. The part number listed is: ST20502AS020

Thanks - I can find *that* part number quite easily, but that doesn't give any results when searching an OEM parts dealer like subarupartsdepot.com.

If I can order the part here in North America, it will be a much better option than getting it shipped from Japan, presuming this is the exact same part as the 2018/2020 tS (which I'm guessing it is, unlike the flexible draw stiffener).

They're called stays for some reason.

That's awesome - thank you very much for that! Now to see if I can source them at a decent price in North America...

So...got the price quote back from my local Subaru dealer. The flexible V-bars are $500 Canadian EACH, the flexible draw stiffener is just under $1,000 Canadian and the crossmember is just under $500 Canadian.

As much as I'd like to support my local dealer where I bought the car, those prices are 50% more expensive than ordering from the U.S. (subarupartsdepot.com) or Japan (japanparts.com or blackhawkjapan.com)!

I'm also debating whether it's worth going the route of using the 2018/2020 tS draw stiffener and crossmember, rather than the 2015 tS/STI aftermarket draw stiffener (from Japan) that mounts to the regular BRZ crossmember.

On top of the additional cost for the crossmember, there's also the installation, and I'm sure there would be minimal, if any, difference in performance/feel. The asymmetrical damper layout on the 2015 tS / STI one just bothers me though...LOL!
