Thank you! Love everything the way to turned out. I said to myself I would keep the satin silver panels...well I am glad I changed them up!

Springs were installed today. Will see how they sit after they settle but already I noticed a difference in the cars personality. Much tighter turn, little less body roll, and a little more bumpy, as expected but with the bumps it is smoothed out more than the stock springs. So basically I feel more bumps but the initial bump is a lot smoother.

Congrats on the springs, I'm debating on whether I want just the sport springs or the entire strut and spring set up...what did you decide to do if you don't mind me asking?

Just the springs. I do not like slamming a car. I did a Koni STR and Eibach spring setup on my Integra before. Loved it but it was too harsh in Nebraska. I currently love the STi Pinks on the stock struts right now. When those give, then I will find alternatives.

Yes, I just got the STi pink springs installed. About a .5 inch drop all around. Also have the Cusco Strut tower bars installed front and rear.

I like the look of a slammed car, but my BRZ is my DD so slamming isn't very practical for me, especially since I'm gonna get the STi lip kit within a month or two...I like how the springs drop the car only 0.5 inch, very subtle but still noticeable, can't wait to see pics of it on yours....another quick question if you don't mind, will the STi pinks that you have fit onto the STi struts/coils (dampers) or is there a different set of springs for the struts/coils?

The STi pinks are designed for the stock struts.

At the lake getting ready to watch fireworks. She was looking good.

Showing the slight drop. Getting wheels done in a couple of weeks.



This is still sitting on 17s with the stock tires slightly stretched on a 7.5in rim.

hey, loving what you are doing !


was thinking about getting the sti kits as well ,


Where do you order them, and do you have to drill holes onto the front bumper, easy to install everything?

I looked online and japanparts.com has some intense shipping fees T_T

Thanks!

I got all of my stuff though a company called massdrop where they put the STi parts up on the site and got a small discount. They are not doing it anymore. Front bumper does not "require" holes to be drilled but I highly recommend it. Everything is a pretty easy install. Just measure more than 1 time and do not apply the tape until everything is squared away. Drilling will not be an issue as it is easy to mock up. Front bumper and wheel well fender lining in the front is the only drilling required.

Well Japanparts got their crap together. Got the right pin stripes. Not a perfect install but it worked out fairly well.

i gotta ask where did you get those TOM's shoulder seat belt pads?? i have been looking for a nice pair but can't seem to find the one like yours. can you post a link or the site where you ordered them from?

18x8.5 SSR GTV01's in Flat black running 245/40/18 tires on them. Alignment checked good when I got the springs installed. I do not want a slammed look. The current gap is actually okay with me. May look into camber bolts. Thanks for the advice.
