Yep, except for the tires as Z1's are no more. Most CS guys were on Z2's, and I like them for this car in THAT class, but not so much in STX. :)

Hey guys. Remember something, the FR-S and the BRZ do not have the same front springs. If I was forced to run without a front bar, I'd pick the BRZ. That said the bar helps both cars. My friend...
