So what's your real plan for this car? - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

TheStig · 02-26-2010, 05:57 PM

1st: Wheels/Tires, I am a very individual person, maybe some iForged, or volks. Probably 18x8 and 18x9. Lightweight, and forged.

2nd: Suspension, maybe coilovers, maybe lowering, i will have to wait and see how the car handles on its own. All it may need to suit my liking is a strut tower brace a small drop and some stiffer sways underneath.

3rd: Bolt ons: Intake, exhaust, tune, headers, etc.

4th: Short Shifter...maybe a different shift knob, I am an old school guy, I like a large solid ball rather than a stick or small oval knob.

5th: Clutch upgrade if necessary, and flywheel as well.

6th: Maybe some audio stuff, well see.

Never been a huge fan of body kits and wings, I like to keep it low-pro, maybe a small splitter and lip spoiler. Other than that, whatever I feel like adding...or removing.

Nothing says individual like some Volks

But I will still rock some CE28s or TE37s

I prefer the ball shift knob as well.

if they make a boosted version, i'll prob add coilovers and possibly new tires

KiRiMa · 02-28-2010, 09:30 PM

I'll do slight suspension mods:17in.rims/tires,maybe coilovers after awhile and yes...it will be a garage queen since I have several other vehicles for a dd.

I would recommend Koni yellow shock and struts + a good set of springs before getting coilovers any day. I would much rather have an adjustable, reliable, reputable, practical setup vs. something twice the money (if you get Tien or BG coils...) being a hassle, only really meant for the track etc...

just my .02 cents
