Compare Billetworkz tow hooks for BRZ/GR86 2022+ and WRX/STI 2008–2014. See how chassis-specific machining and tow hook location affect fitment and use.
Quick answer
Choose the Billetworkz Tow Hook – BRZ / GR86 2022+ for those cars and the Billetworkz Tow Hook – Subaru WRX / STI 2008–2014 for that generation. The two are chassis-specific, so the right pick is the one machined for your platform, not the one with the lower price.
Why chassis-specific fitment decides the comparison
Billetworkz builds these hooks for specific platforms, so the meaningful difference is the application, not a shared universal design. The BRZ/GR86 2022+ and WRX/STI 2008–2014 listings are separate products because the mounting and bodywork differ between those cars.
That means you should start with your chassis and model year, then choose the matching hook. Cross-fitting one hook to the other platform is not supported by the supplied catalog information, and the front tow hook thread size for Subaru varies by generation, so confirm the hook is listed for your car before ordering.
What the shared Billetworkz construction tells you
Both hooks are precision CNC machined from premium materials and made in the USA, according to the catalog. They are intended for light-duty use such as track days, trailer loading, and rollback recovery, not for heavy recovery or towing.
Both listings also offer Tow Hook Location and Tow Hook Color options. Choose the location that matches your car's exposed mounting point and a color that suits your build; the catalog does not publish a single thread size, so rely on the listed application rather than guessing dimensions.
The trade-off: price versus platform match
The WRX/STI hook is listed at USD 106.47 against a USD 169.00 comparison price, while the BRZ/GR86 hook is USD 114.92 against the same comparison price. The BRZ/GR86 hook costs a little more, but that difference should not override fitment.
If you own a BRZ or GR86 2022+, the small price gap buys the correct hook for your car. If you own a 2008–2014 WRX or STI, the lower-priced hook is the one designed for your chassis. Buying the wrong one to save a few dollars defeats the purpose of a fitment-specific part.
Fitment trade-offs to weigh before you buy
- Platform match: Match the hook to your chassis: BRZ/GR86 2022+ takes the BRZ/GR86 hook; WRX/STI 2008–2014 takes the WRX/STI hook. Do not assume one fits the other. Confirm your model year before comparing price.
- Tow hook location: Both listings let you choose Tow Hook Location. Pick the option that corresponds to the exposed mounting point on your car; the catalog does not list a universal thread size, so use the application listing as your guide.
- Price versus correct fit: The WRX/STI hook is listed at USD 106.47 and the BRZ/GR86 hook at USD 114.92, both against a USD 169.00 comparison price. Treat the small gap as secondary to getting the right platform. A lower price is not a saving if the hook does not fit your chassis.
