First-Generation FR-S, BRZ and 86 Factory Front Crossmember and Engine-Cradle Identification

US/LHD first-generation factory front suspension crossmembers only: 2013-2016 Scion FR-S, 2013-2020 Subaru BRZ and 2017-2020 Toyota 86. Resolve recipient VIN, badge, model year/build, trim, installed crossmember identity, engine-mount, steering-rack, lower-control-arm, stabilizer and brace interfaces, structural condition and exact seller contents before ordering. Keep the ordinary BRZ and 2018/2020 US BRZ tS branches separate. Exclude 2022-up GR86/BRZ, non-US/RHD assumptions, rear suspension members, rear/body-mount reinforcement plates, fabricated swap cradles, cut or welded conversions and structural-repair claims.

WHERE TO BUY

Open an exact listing, then confirm fitment, stock, price, and shipping with the seller before ordering.

Seller links checked . Prices and availability can change.

What you need to know

Start with the recipient VIN, badge, build and trim, then require a readable service label or a physical match to every mounting interface. The checked catalogs identify Toyota/Scion SU003-00348 and ordinary Subaru 20101CA000 separately; do not promise FR-S/86-to-BRZ interchange from shared platform architecture or seller titles. The checked Subaru catalog separates 20101CA010 for the 2018 and 2020 US tS/STI branch and lists flexible draw stiffener 20107CA010 as related equipment. Confirm whether the recipient has that branch and itemize the stiffener, brackets and fasteners rather than treating tS as a cosmetic label. Do not confuse the center front cradle with SU003-00349/SU003-10927 rear members or SU003-01225/SU003-07500 rear reinforcement plates, even when dismantlers call each a subframe or K-frame. Itemize engine-mount pedestals, steering-rack mounts, lower-control-arm pickups, stabilizer mounts, braces/stays, shields and every bolt or captive nut; bare, complete and loaded have no dependable universal contents. Before purchase, reject or obtain qualified structural review for cracks, bends, elongated or torn holes, crushed jack points, heavy corrosion, collision movement, filler, heat, non-factory welds or coating that hides repairs. Compare fixed-point measurements to current body/service data and inspect the vehicle-side rails and mounting points because replacing one member cannot correct body distortion or guarantee alignment. The assembly supports engine, steering and suspension interfaces; use rated support equipment, current service procedures, new one-time fasteners where specified, and a qualified alignment and steering inspection after installation.

MAIN FRONT CROSSMEMBERS: Toyota/Scion SU003-00348, cataloged as front cross member sub-assembly code 57104ESubaru 20101CA000 for checked 2013-2020 Base/High BRZ applicationsSubaru 20101CA010 for checked 2018 and 2020 BRZ STI/tS catalog applications. T-SPECIFIC ATTACHMENT REFERENCE: Subaru 20107CA010 flexible draw stiffener appears with the 20101CA010 catalog branch and is separate attached equipment, not proof that every used crossmember includes it. REJECTED LOOKALIKES: Toyota rear suspension member SU003-00349, now serviced by SU003-10927, is not the front cradleToyota left rear body-mount/reinforcement plate SU003-01225, replaced by SU003-07500, is also not the center front cradle. These identities are badge, trim, position and component verification anchors, not one universal interchange list.

Supersession

No cross-badge supersession is asserted between Toyota/Scion SU003-00348 and either Subaru identity. Subaru 20101CA000 and 20101CA010 are treated as parallel ordinary-versus-tS catalog branches, not a 000-to-010 replacement chain. Toyota SU003-00349 -> SU003-10927 is an excluded rear-member service chain, and SU003-01225 -> SU003-07500 is an excluded left rear body-mount/reinforcement-plate chain. Seller grouping of SU003-00348 with 20101CA000 is a sourcing lead only and does not replace VIN- and catalog-specific confirmation.

Fitment

Start with the recipient VIN, badge, build and trim, then require a readable service label or a physical match to every mounting interface. The checked catalogs identify Toyota/Scion SU003-00348 and ordinary Subaru 20101CA000 separately; do not promise FR-S/86-to-BRZ interchange from shared platform architecture or seller titles. The checked Subaru catalog separates 20101CA010 for the 2018 and 2020 US tS/STI branch and lists flexible draw stiffener 20107CA010 as related equipment. Confirm whether the recipient has that branch and itemize the stiffener, brackets and fasteners rather than treating tS as a cosmetic label. Do not confuse the center front cradle with SU003-00349/SU003-10927 rear members or SU003-01225/SU003-07500 rear reinforcement plates, even when dismantlers call each a subframe or K-frame. Itemize engine-mount pedestals, steering-rack mounts, lower-control-arm pickups, stabilizer mounts, braces/stays, shields and every bolt or captive nut; bare, complete and loaded have no dependable universal contents. Before purchase, reject or obtain qualified structural review for cracks, bends, elongated or torn holes, crushed jack points, heavy corrosion, collision movement, filler, heat, non-factory welds or coating that hides repairs.

The assembly supports engine, steering and suspension interfaces; use rated support equipment, current service procedures, new one-time fasteners where specified, and a qualified alignment and steering inspection after installation.

Aftermarket options

A VIN-confirmed new genuine service crossmember or a documented straight genuine used assembly is the primary factory-replacement path. Aftermarket braces, rigid collars and bushing inserts do not repair a bent or cracked member and are not crossmember supersessions. Tubular, fabricated, relocated-mount, cut, welded or competition assemblies require their own engineered application, geometry, material, weld, steering, suspension, crashworthiness and legal review and are outside this factory-identification guide. Fresh paint or powder coat can conceal heat, filler, corrosion or repair, so require pre-finish photographs and measurements.

Before you buy

US/LHD first-generation factory front crossmembers only. Match VIN, badge, build, trim and exact identity; keep ordinary BRZ 20101CA000, tS 20101CA010 and Toyota/Scion SU003-00348 as separate catalog branches unless VIN-specific evidence authorizes more. Do not confuse rear members or reinforcement plates with the front cradle. Reject concealed, bent, cracked, corroded, cut, welded or elongated pickup points; verify fixed-point geometry, vehicle-side structure, every included interface, freight terms and post-install steering/alignment.
