PDR should be able to remove that.

It takes maybe 2 minutes to remove, and that is the bulk of the weight from the system.

Shipping weight was 30.8lbs, for reference.

If you still qualify for RCS, I would just stick with that for now, unless you are thinking of going after points.

Thanks!

I'm thinking about going STX instead. I'd like to be able to do a couple things to the car this year. Looking at wheels and tires hasn't really been super easy.

I just wanted to add a comment about the incredible service at Pure Automotive. I went up there this evening to have a brake kit installed but ran into a snag with having the wrong bolts for the caliper brackets.

If you're looking for professional and personalized service, I'd highly recommend. Brady is a good guy and I'll be back up there when I get the right bolts and then when it's forced induction time. I traveled from Fairfax, VA and it was worth it.

Do you happen to remember the size of the wheels and tires? I'm trying to figure out what I can fit under my car.

Grimlock · 03-15-2013, 06:57 AM

My springs and Koni shocks are on the car, along with my rear subframe bushings. In about a week I'll get my camber bushings and alignment put on.

17x9 (+42)? Sweet. I only want 17x8, and it looks like the 17x8 (+45) has 9mm more clearance on the inside than the 17x9's you had on. I should have more than enough room to put 17x8 and 235 tires with the max camber that that OEM crash bolts will allow up front.

I'm just a little worried since I felt behind the tire last night and it didn't seem like there was a whole lot of clearance.

Talk to @Mach V Dan

He's test fit several wheel/tire combos on the BRZ and can offer some insight

Snagged a Gopro Hero 3 Black edition, 64gb mSD card, and extra battery. All BNIB. 425 off CL. WIN.

Maybe I'll have to. I knocked Gold Awesomes off of my list because I thought you had bought them for your car, and I didn't want to duplicate what you had. So now their back on the list.

I just found a BRZ with 17x8's with 245/40 tires with Ebach springs. I should be okay with what I want.
