You don't need 4-pot Brembo's on a 2600lbs car with only 200hp.

What you want as standard on this car is:
HIDS
LED taillights (check)
LSD (check)
Push button start (check)
Nice brakes

But lets hope the stock brakes are brembos or at least something that is at least 4 piston caliper from and 2 piston caliper rear...

Since we don't see a wing as stock...it might come with a auto deploying wing. They put one as standard on the new MINI Roadster....so Toyota could do it here...
Well... ... wouldn't that just add to the weight?

screw an auto deploying wing... Like Jeremy Clarkson says... when the wing is up the cops know you are going x-mph... hmm unless it came with a contraption to flip the license plate around so when the cop caught up you could remain anonymous as you sped away through the twisties... just a though lol

I'll take Brembos all day long baby, love em on my cobalt. I swear I could make my car do a front flip if I wanted to lol.

I'm hoping i can get UEL headers from a subaru to fit - need to see about the dimensions though first - i know they are a performance loss a lot of the time too - i like the sound though

It's more the "brand name" im interested in on the car, as shallow as that sounds, and im sure it is with a few others.

being able to say that your car has: Brembo's, Ohlins, BBS/Enkei, Akrapovic titanium and recaro's withh always increase your e-peen size

But wait, Torsen = mechanical LSD and clutch-type = mechanical LSD, right? I don't see Toyota equipping it with a clutch-type LSD. Can you name any Toyota that came with one from the factory? I see them leaving that for the aftermarket (e.g. their aftermarket arm TRD has sold a clutch-type LSD but only in Japan where they also sold cat-less exhausts unintended for road use, etc. and never sold in the US).

There isn't going to be enough room under the car for EJ headers. The few shots we have seen of the headers on this car it looks like they are a much more "flat" design than they have been before.
