I gave them my click and (as usual) I now feel like I lost an IQ point or two.

The stock brakes are pretty good for autocross, but I feel they could use a little more bite.

I am running the Project Mu Club B-Force pads up front and have been happy with the performance and they have been good for daily driving too.

WELL! Guess that's settled....now for the BRZ-owners hate posts about "fairness", "re-classing" and what "the SCCA should do"...

You mean the Iowa CS FR-S owners hate posts about "how" and "why" is that BRZ still faster?

It's a bummer for what was a huge class and likely means this will be a one year solution only, so more changes for 2016.

I am still on the fence. I don't think we can assume that lowering springs are an automatic improvement. I have seen other makes that were arguably worse off after lowering. Looks like a shock upgrade would have to done too. I am happy with the stock dampers thus far but could stand a little more transitional control even with the stock springs. Decisions decisions.

I mean technically we could rebadge the Brz as an frs right?

Technically they are both Subaru VINs...I'm not sure if there's some distinguishing between the two somehow, but as far as I'm concerned if the conversion was complete enough that a physical inspection didn't reveal any BRZ bits I don't think anyone would protest.

You would need to change EVERYTHING to be an exact copy, interior and exterior cosmetic bits, any wiring harness changes, etc. The guys who made Shelby clones in the late 2000s for FS had to go through that.

The hard part is sound deadening, I think the BRZ has more of it.

I really should bring the car back with me this summer, sounds like it may not be as easy to dominate CS in DSM as I was thinking it would be.

Anyone know if the TRD lowing springs will create any rubbing issues with 245 tires?

I'll have a TRD front sway bar for sale a week from today, anyone local want it?
