I like them, they stiffen up the ride a bit but overall it is more comfortable. I did notice potholes were more jarring on the stock wheels/tires but with the new set, they are absorbed a bit more. If you are looking for pure drop, H&R seems to be the most over RCE or Eibach.

RCE is about .8" IIRC.

Yeah honestly just looking to get rid of the wheel gap. Not going to be a full on track car so really no need for coilovers. I’ll most likely just go with the H&Rs. Thanks

Infinity 10" shallow depth subwoofer and Infinity Amp


If anyone is looking for quality audio work in the PDX area - Sounds Unique did a great job on all of my recent upgrades.

Hotchkis front stabilizer bar.

Anyone else experience very little to no clearance between the endlink stud and the control arm when using an adjustable bar? My stud is juuuuust kissing the LCA. Not enough to make a noise, but just enough to make a slight mark. I'm not too worried about it, just wondered.

Took my BRZ in Monday for the dreaded WTY84 FA20 valve spring recall and picked it up today. Had the dealer install new spark plugs, V-belt, Clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and throw-out bearing just because. Got a 15% discount on parts and labor (1 hour) for the clutch job. Master Mechanic (Joe) kept me informed during the procedure. He did a great job and car runs great...so far - knock on wood! Thanks Joe @ North Park Dominion Subaru!!!

Finally switched out the embarrassing wusshorns. Used the horn for like the third time ever a few days ago and thought "allright...don't need to hear that again"...

FINALLY removed my clutch pedal spring. It feels so much better now.

Also installed some new Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tires. Primacys were at the end of their life for sure.

With the car in the air? Or on the ground?

In the air it's really close, I can't get a great look at in on the ground, but it is leaving a bot of a witness mark so the link stud touches just a hair.

Checked my damper settings on my coilovers, and found they were all adjusted to something different... any idea what could have caused this? I originally had them at 7 clicks from full hard, as per Tein's recommendations, but upon checking, they were all over the place (Front - 5 & 2, Rears - 7 & 14). Maybe an oversight I made or something. For what it's worth, I have the subaru trunk liner which could have slid around against the damper knobs, so I cut notches out this morning.

The bar will normally touch when you raise the car up. You should turn the wheels to the side with the car on the ground and examine how close the bar really is.
