Personally I think the only VALUABLE upgrade for a FRS/BRZ/STi would be a complete hub and brake conversion that would change it to 5x114.3.
Yeah that has been on my mind since the day I bought it. I plan on leaving that in the hands of LIC Motorsports. It's expensive for sure though. Someday when I have a few grand to do it I'll see if it's possible.

Wow! With the strut bar installed you can really see just how far back the engine sits. The engineers really nailed it on this one.

Wheels: I'm thinking about the new Rota D2-EX when they come out, not sure on color combo, but 17x8 or 8.5

As for suspension, I'm thinking Cusco Street SpecA coils. I'll be getting probably all the Cusco braces eventually as well.

I could, but many shops have said it doesn't make a difference performance wise, and I like the sound of the engine when at WOT. Waiting on a good exhaust to decide on..

I might mess with it some day, but for now I'll leave it be. I imagine it doesn't make a huge difference, but I'd rather hear a nice exhaust sound than the cams clacking away lol. So maybe taking it out would be better.

Looking great my friend!!! How does that Master Cylinder brace feel under hard braking? Any difference? I have not had a chance to test one out, so just curious if you noticed a real difference.


Thanks,
Rick

Thought you'd like that little touch of putting the card in the photo


I did notice a good difference Rick. I posted that picture on rallysports website for that product. Ive done that with everything I've bought from you guys so far, hope it helps potential buyers seeing actual pics of the parts in action.
