WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

Do like the wheel+tire choice - what tires are they and sizes?

Thanks!

They are Michelin PS4S 245/40/17 on 17x9 Rays 57CR. Love them so far... insane amount of grip compared to the stock tires, even in the rain. They are just as quiet as stock and I would say a very minimal amount of steering feel was lost. It will be interesting to see how the performance holds up as they wear.

Thanks, good to know.

The tires have a great look about them.

How does the wheel+tire combo weight compare to the stockers?

Oh and what suspension setup do you have?

It’s got just the right drop and stance.

I soundproofed the inside/outside of the front doors and installed an Optima red top and removed my original 2013 dying battery.

Stock wheels + tires are about 41.4 lbs.

My wheels and tires are 18.3 lbs + 23.94 lbs = 42.24 lbs

So less than a pound heavier on each corner.

I have the Eibach Pro-kit for about 1" of drop all around. Very comfortable for daily driving and not so low that you can't deal with speedbumps and driveways. Currently have SPC rear LCAs, SPC camber bolts, and whiteline tophats on order so that I can get my alignment 100% dialed in.

Nice!

That’s what I’d look for in terms of drop and I’ve had good experiences with Eibach product. How far off was the alignment before the other parts?

I’m wondering, since I’ve lowered cars an inch or so without having to go to that measure. Granted the camber may have been a bit out of spec but not by much (-1* to -1.25*).

Appreciate the education.

I have been learning a lot myself. There is a lot to suspension geometry that I didn't understand before and it has been cool to figure out how each piece has a subtle effect.

In all honesty, getting the camber right back to factory specs like I'm doing is probably overkill.

For some reason I can't find my alignment report, but both front and rear were out by about 0.75*-1*. I'm just trying to minimize any uneven tire wear because they were not cheap and I want to get the maximum life out of the set.

Had 20% tint installed. No pictures since the car is embarrassingly dirty due to it raining today.

If you're referring to the Valenti Revo's...I believe they came from 86speed but other vendors carry them as well....Google is your friend.

Installed a Pioneer Spare Tire Sub

Camber doesn't have that huge of an effect on tire wear. I am at -3 in the front and I was just looking at my tires. They look pretty even across the face. My track tires however, look like I still need to add a bit more negative.

Not today. But over the weekend

Refreshed rear subframe
Pbm solid bushings
Pbm weld In Rear diff bushing
Welded Lexus is300 3.909 diff
Voodoo control arms. Blah blah blah






Also did some street faction heel plates

[Zoid]

I put some spacers on recently, 20mm in the front and 25mm in the rear but I haven't bothered taking any pictures because my new PSS have turned brown after about a month of having them. I just washed the car yesterday and couldn't get them black and shiny

It's killing me.

May I know the place please and how much did you pay? Did you install on windshields as well? Thanks.
