Cant find much info on what BRZ parts interchange with GC's.. I know various Brake components are interchangeable (4 pots, 2 pots) but I've also heard some of the suspension components are too.. In particular, I'm interested to know if BRZ springs would be a good swap for a GC and also if the steering rack fits? Or if it fits with a GD crossmember?

Thanks.

Springs will not be the same in the rear and I believe are different in the front as well.

Steering rack I've got no idea on, but based on previous racks I would assume it is closer to the 2015 STi rack which takes some custom cutting to fit on an 05+ GD subframe. More so for an 02-04.

Brakes are swappable for the front, not so much for the rear. (not much point anyways theyre the same as wrx stuff)

Springs; front struts are way shorter and the spring is much smaller and probably pretty soft too with the weight of the brz and weight distribution. Rears are way different.

Steering rack is wayyy different then the traditional Subaru style, its a manual rack with electric assist on the column to start, Then the way the rack mounts is quite different as well not going to work.
