My Series.Yellow did not come with wheel locks. The only options mine had was the rear bumper appliqué and the homelink mirror. I was quite happy with that deal.

My wife's 2016 STi came with locks installed. I see some photos with them installed on the BRZ's but other photos not.
my series yellow came with the wheel locks from dealer. didn't know it didn't come with it actually, he didn't make a big deal out of it and just told me they were in the glove box lol.

Same thing with my CWP BRZ w/ PP. I didn't order wheel locks as I had a custom order but they came on the car along with the set in the glove box. Works for me!

Are you doing track days? If anything is "slushy" on the street, you probably need to bleed your fluid or change it completely. And the only reason your fluid would make it feel slushy is it's either very old, or you heated it up at some point and it has air in it.

No track days, but yeah let me give that a try. Thanks!

If you bleed your brakes and there's air in the line and you haven't done any track days, something is likely wrong. You either leave your left foot on the brake when you drive or perhaps a caliper is seized. Highly unlikely you'd be able to put enough heat in the pads on the street to boil fluid.
