This work of art came in today. Haven't installed it YET.

:cheers :

Had WORKS Motorsports install a SuperPro Control Arm (LCA) Kit (to go with new cÖilovers installed a few weeks ago), a SuperPro Bushing (Suspension) Kit, do a complete suspension alignment, and oil change with filter.

Since most people (here) understand what a LCA does, I will not go into that.

The reason I had the bushing kit installed was to improve shifting and here are a few links about that; albeit from a different manufacturer:

At this point, there is something I want to explain.

I am one of

‘those people’

who does not like anyone touching my vehicles …and for fifty (50) plus years have personally done the majority of service, repairs, and modifications to all my motorcycles and automobiles.

Due to a large fire, I lost that ability when my workshop / studio / garage burnt down and all of my tools, etc. were destroyed.

Based on personal research I selected WORKS Motorsports to work on my BRZ because I personally liked the direction they were headed and am

quite happy with my choice.

An open thanks to Harry, Leon, Nash, and Pete @WORKS for helping me ...and doing an excellent job with my Subaru BRZ.

Happy Holidaze, cwpbrz-ji

Added at least 10whp....

Also finally got the clear bra done. Bumper, full hood, full fenders, A-pillars, and the strip over the top of the windshield. The guy I went to even did a custom cut out for the fender "vents" and a custom piece for the rear spats, and rolled the film over the edges of the fenders and hood. No lines ftw! I'll take pics once it stops raining.

Initial impressions? Thinking of maybe doing yellows...

Surprisingly comfortable. Maybe slightly harsher over really big bumps, but a very planted feeling, otherwise.

SmartedPanda · 12-21-2015, 03:35 AM

WeatherTech Mats like 2-3 days ago.

They're really slippery, I carry a towel now to wipe my feet so I don't slip off the pedals.

Drove it out to Pescadero for lunch on Saturday... So not exactly today, but I wasn't able to post until now.

I found them more comfortable than stock on small bumps and going down the freeway and the only reason I upgraded to coilovers is i found a screaming deal on a barely used set of HKS coils.

Thank you very much @cwpbrz-ji!

Put in my LED bulbs from Diode Dynamics. Did license plate, trunk, doors, dome, and vanity lights. I'm very happy with the results. Quality product and FAST shipping.

I see a battery tender there...Tell me, how do you run the cables up to the battery? I'm assuming from the looks that you're bringing it up from the bottom. I was going to try that the other day but could see an easy way of doing it.
