They reduce rear anti squat and you can get on power a tad earlier coming out of a turn. Will test them this weekend at MSR Cresson and report back. |

And the traction mod works as advertised, no more twitchiness in the rear coming out of turns. I was running the rear shocks 4 clicks softer, I think most folks stiffen the rear after this mod, but it may be a personal preference.

Since the BRZ is obviously not going to be my wife's car, I got her an E93 M3 DCT. The engine is a very sweet V8 with ITB's and 8,300 rpm redline.

Changed oil and the front brake pads today.
Stripped three (!) wheel studs on the rear passenger side. Will press in the replacements instead of pulling them through with a lug nut. |

Changed the oil today at 15,298 miles.
Also, installed the MTEC shift springs a few weeks ago, the shifts feel a bit crispier. |

Last track weekend I heard a new humming noise coming out of some turns and upon further inspection I discovered that the LR axle nut slipped.
![]() Ordered a new OEM wheel hub, pressed in new ARP studs, and hopefully all is good. Also changed the front brake pads as I have two consecutive hpde weekends ahead of me. |
