I wouldn't do that. You're not coming out ahead financially on that deal and it's cake to replace the springs on your car with the ones from the BRZ anyway.

I can't in good conscience recommend going cheap on tires, especially if you intend to track/auto-x the car. Go with the lightweight wheels and quality tires now.

I've never had Mustangs rev at me. Even if they did it wouldn't bother me, I openly admit my love for that car, and I'm not going to get involved in drag races.

I tend to associate the 57Xtreme with the twins (I wonder why) but I think the XT7 would look good as well and be less common.
