Quick answer
Choose the Billetworkz 2022+ BRZ kit if your car lacks threaded inserts; choose the 2008-14 WRX/STI kit for a simpler bolt-on installation with square hole spacing.
Why the mounting hardware differs
The 2022+ BRZ and 2008-14 WRX/STI have different bumper designs. The BRZ may or may not have threaded inserts, so its hardware kit includes expanding well nuts for secure mounting in that case. The WRX/STI uses a standard square hole pattern with 8.25" spacing, so its kit provides square nuts and bolts.

- 2022+ BRZ kit: Versatile kit that works with or without threaded inserts, but you must verify your bumper's insert status before installation. Check your BRZ for threaded inserts before ordering.
