Interesting. Might have to try a set of these on our daily driver / track / time trials / autox car and give our feedback.

can i get a little clarification on this install? I'm a little confused. so when everything comes off that silver bracket goes on? then the actual door hook goes on over it? screw down? slide the black thing over? seems out of order there.

You're taking about the actual door and the black piece with the metal clip/adapter?

Remove door screws, reinstall screws with metal clip, slip black plastic piece over it.

any special after install it ?

914_WHITE_FRS · 07-09-2013, 02:24 PM

what are these things supposed to do?

SupraSwampa · 07-09-2013, 02:57 PM

Is there any noticeable difference in handling characteristics before and after install? If you could go back and do it again would you spend the money on these "door stabilizers"? I am just trying to get some opinions before I decide wether or not to buy them.

Thanks, Jordan

I have no clue, wtf do these do? Make the door seat better?

SupraSwampa · 07-10-2013, 01:44 PM

For $200 they better do something

That do nothing?

FRSBRZGT86FAN · 07-10-2013, 02:21 PM

Alright I looked them up:
"The TRD Door Stabilizer helps stiffen the chassis of your BRZ, FR-S, or GT86 by sliding a spring loaded metal section behind the lock which grabs against a polymer based plastic piece on the door itself. This then pushes on the door and against the hinges which helps stiffens the chassis."

Really? I'd like to see someone with lap time to prove this isn't bullshit it looks cool but for $200?:http://www.brz-parts.com/ms304-18001.html

SupraSwampa · 07-10-2013, 02:22 PM

Seems to me like there are better ways to stiffen the car. Sway bars and strut bars to start, maybe the TRD brace kit, and eventually coilovers. After you have done all that, then I would blow $190 on two pieces of plastic.
