And yes brand new tires a couple days before I decided to trade it in, the stock tires were a little too narrow for the rims, and wore the inside edges down really quick. Also It got both taillights due to condensation from them being cracked on installation. I would highly recommend not driving this in snow without snow tires.

Put a car cover over her and plan on keeping her in the garage till mid March! Treated with fuel stabilizer, changed the oil, cleaned inside and out, and hooked up a battery tender. I might put new oil in before i start her back up to make start-up a little easier on the engine unless you guys recommend anything else? Last oil change i used Subaru oil and oil filter although i was thinking Mobile 1. I understand the want to go AWD by the way, lol. My friend recently bought a '16 STI and performance wise its obviously a night and day difference. I cant get away from the 2-door life however! All my cars have been 2-doors and as much as i love the WRX/STI i love the look and feeling of driving a BRZ over the power of those cars. |

Yeah some of the first ones to come out the installed them without the rubber gasket or whatever it is, and it would crack them. It Does handle pretty good with them, great on wet roads even! Yeah I don't blame you, and if I could have both I definitely would get another brz. It could use better sway bars/end links, some decent coilovers and control arms and it would handle a lot better!

I'm pretty sure it was the best looking one! Those toms taillights looked awesome too, going to get something similar for the sti! My mom is in omaha, she let me know about the snow, I'm over here in Ohio just waiting, ive had the snow tires on almost 2 months now, and its just now finally cooling down

Lmao seems we all have a thing for white cars here! Love the Accord man! My buddy five houses from me has one in Black and its a blast to drive (not the V6 but it gets up and goes still) Did the body kit come on the car as well?
Side note, how did you like the Cussco strut braces? i heard that those style braces that arent one solid bar dont perform as well and solid bar braces. Quote:
Ive had her stored for two months now and theyve salted the roads up in cleveland. if they had'nt done that i would still be driving her...She's gotten new lug nuts, new TOMS tails and Grimmspeed Hood Dampers since shes been in storage. Next up are front and rear strut braces and floor mats. |

The kit was OEM add on options at the dealer. I bought it a couple months after I got the car. Was worth the buy in my opinion. It changed the car completely! I am getting the rest of my BC coils in this up coming week and will drop it 1.5in to bring the tires to the fender. Should look great! As for the TOMs tails, that is exactly why I got them. In my opinion, they definitely look the best! This v6 is a monster of a motor from Honda. It pulls all the time and I just installed a new exhaust for it too that I need to get a video of. Man does she roar! The short ram OEM intake makes it sound like there is a super charger under the hood when getting on it. Here is some rear end loving.

I'd go with a better rear sway bar, and control arms. My brother has an frs and said that improved the handling a lot better
