Anybody rocking the JDM STi BRZ Springs?

Looking into upgrading my suspension but not sure I'll need the customization of a coil-over setup since I won't be tracking all that much.

Curious if anybody is running or knows anything about the STi BRZ springs you can order off of japanparts.com.

After having some pretty aggressive setups on my last car (classic GF8 impreza STi swap) I like the idea of improving upon the already great stock BRZ setup to keep some of the "comfort" around.

Figure if these springs were designed by the factory to be an upgrade they may have a good chance to fit the bill of comfort with a bit added performance and style?

I do want to get more heavily involved in autocross events and an occasional track day but this is my DD so I want to retain that level of comfort over crazy track benefits. Not trying to break records here. Haha.

Any opinions on this setup or any that may also work would be great.

Thanks!

Glad to see you got into a BRZ! I absolutely loved your GF and was sad when I saw it up for sale. I had been eyeing the STi springs for my personal BRZ, but another option I will most likely go with will be the ST coilovers. They are non adjustable, well the height is adjustable, but they should be a great all around "sporty" suspension that is not much stiffer than stock. Plus they are made by KW so the quality is amazing all around. Hope this helps

Thanks,
Rick
