What did you do to your 2017 BRZ today?

Though I'd try get a thread started where we can see some of the mods the community are carrying out on the new model.

Feel free to post links to any websites bringing out parts specifically for the 2017 model.

I have ST coils and they're awesome. I was worried they would make my suspension way too stiff, fortunately they have a nice balance between performance and comfort. If I had the money I would have made the jump to KW. But ST is a child company of KW so their quality is superb

And the segregation begins!


99% of what people do to their 17 will be exactly the same thing they did to a 16 or older.

Are you saying we have serial buyers? I won't be swapping unless a 300bhp+ waltzes into the Subaru showrooms.

Poor pharsing on my part.
Should say "would do to a 2016 or older".
Although yes there will be serial buyers as well that will fall for the whole new and improved hype. They will then go ahead and change half of what they bought the newer version for anyway.

Big question, is Tcoat going to become a serial buyer? Paraphrasing using big text.
