Mmm TC105N and Ace. Nice choices. Bummer about the Flex kit.
Did you get your Teins yet? I want to see those wheels mounted! |

I'm not the best photographer, but I had to cancel autocross this month so I went to take pictures instead.

ACE headers is gone, Tomei is now in the car and all is right with the world.
ACE gains may be nice, but it was embarrassing to drive with how loud it was. I suggest you get a very quiet exhaust if that's the route you go. I also have an R400 installed now which sounds perfect with the tomei UEL. Wheels are still sitting until the CSG Spec Flex A's get here, and I'm contemplating if I want SPL or Verus for LCAs. A very short exhaust video is on my instagram page until I make a more legit one. Stay tuned. |

If you have a chance could you get record the tomei + r400? That is pretty much what I am looking at getting.

When you were using the ACE were you still on the stock catback?

First autocross in the BRZ!
8 runs in the rain with the stock primacy tires, lots of drifting, learning, and improving! my last run I had the left traction control button off and really pushed it despite the slides and interference in the rain. It was a great learning experience and I can't wait to put some better tires on the car [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaaUb34F7Gw&list=UUvt3t1manUs-CJJTOgQplXg"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaaUb34F7Gw&list=UUvt3t1manUs-CJJTOgQplXg[/ame] |

Since I've switched to Tomei UEL, it is much better and more pleasant to the ears. Just my $0.2 Also, just ordered the SPL lower control arms! Thanks ft86speedfactory for making sure it's the new version with the 2017 headlight sensor bracket Car should be getting lowered in 2 weeks. Last edited by spicyricecake; 04-23-2018 at 12:56 AM. |

Suspension parts are here!
After a week of waiting, I was finally able to put them all on this weekend. I also ordered some SPL lower control arms (2017+ design) Started the install Friday night I had a friend of mine help me, who is a little new to modding cars. Unfortunately, a top hat stud snapped due to being over torqued. I felt bad at how awful my friend felt after doing this, but accidents happen and there's always something that can go wrong with DIY installs. Also, after all the mishap, the rear toe was way too out but it got too late, and I couldn't drive straight at all. Car would fish tail at 15 mph lol. so I left the car at the friend's house and borrowed his s2k home. We continued Saturday evening. To replace the broken stud, I pressed one of the stock top hat studs out. This took me far too long. A c-clamp was purchased which definitely helped, but was not the easiest tool to use for this job. After it was pressed out a little, I was able to hammer the rest out. If you break one, the stock one fits so there's that :P I haven't taken any glamour shots after the rear toe was fixed, but here's a few while the toe was out: I plan to get her aligned sometime this week (probably on the weekend), and she'll be good to go. Very impressed with the CSG spec Flex A and SPL control arms. I'm also very pleased with how the wheels turned out. I've never been a fan of silver wheels in general, but these look great and I may even opt to powder coat them satin black (RPF1 color) down the road when they get abused at the track. |

Is this with the recommended ride height? The front looks lower than I'd expect.
Looks great! So nice of them to include that rear wheel steering kit |
