Very nice, I like how the car is sitting.

Wow, V3s are pretty serious stuff. Car looks great, glad to hear it's running better than anticipated.

Simmons-Racing · 09-20-2012, 09:45 PM

It looks like they put the BRZ into STX Class

Liking the setup a lot!

Supraholic · 09-21-2012, 10:11 PM

Hey Eric, did you get it aligned after installing the coilovers? I'm interested to find out what camber angle you got out of it. Particularly because these cars don't have camber adjustments. Its all based on the height of the car unless you buy adjustable arms.

With Whiteline offset strut plates, subaru camber bolt, and slotted KW I can get -4 in the front. The rear is not adjustable, and I have -3

Nice! -3 is pretty damn near perfect for the rear. What about caster, were you able to make adjustments and how does it feel steering with a -4 up front compared to stock? Any issues with that?

I may have to take some time and meet up with you at the applebees meet one day to check this car out. That's if you haven't sold it by then...

Wait - did you just say 6 or you meant 9? Seriously 6? Is that far off from stock or what? That's HUGE!

Watch your braking performance! Are you monitoring tire temperature?

Which AutoX are you doing Sunday?

6° is what I ran the Rx8 at. I am going to Meadowlands on Sunday.

SikneSS · 09-22-2012, 11:13 AM

i really need to stop looking at this thread, it makes me want one of these more and more. yours looks amazing!!

one8turbo · 09-22-2012, 06:57 PM

Looks awesome dude, loving it.

Simmons-Racing · 09-25-2012, 09:33 PM

I got my Perrin Lightweight pulley, and the Perrin cat back none resonated exhaust. It feels more responsive, it could be a little louder. Nice quaulity parts. I saved 4lbs on the pulley, and 8.15lbs from the cat back.

BrandonW · 09-25-2012, 10:20 PM

I agree, they make a great product.

The tips alone look very refined, which I think is important to this car.

IBTrends Tom · 09-26-2012, 11:30 PM
