I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've got a BRZ with double front camber bolts (-2.5 degrees) and the OEM 15mm RSB off an 86. Those two mods were only ~$100 total and do a good job minimizing...

The Perrin exhausts are very durable. I've had mine for 10 years, 50,000 miles, close to 50 track days, and it's still going strong. Nice mellow sound to it.

This is an often overlooked point. While car comparisons are great and useful, the "winner" almost always depends what your preferences and usage mix are.

Probably referring to the car being in the break-in period at the time.

Don’t kid yourself though, there are plenty of people legitimately beating the **** out of these cars in stupid ways.

Someone recently posted they didn’t have any rub with a 17x9 +38 setup on a normal sized 245 (non-200tw).

As another datapoint, I didn’t have any rubbing with 17x9 +42 with a 235 width sx2.

It’s confirmed to fit. On the other forum, someone with a 22 BRZ mounted a set already.

Looks like I can’t link it directly but if you search the other forum for rr racing, you’ll find it.

E85 also helps at elevation due to the oxygen it contains. IMO will be the most effective NA mod you can do if available.

Agree this smells fishy. The past history of posts and the damage the tech found (stripped threads, rounded bolt heads, damage to wheel bearing) is really suspicious.

At best both are high 13 second cars, not surprising it’s a drivers race. Theoretically the GR86 is faster (slightly quicker time and trap), but it’s very close.
