The header by its design allows the gases to escape more efficiently thus aids more efficient intake. A tune will optimise this process.

I used to thought that I would never do a FI upgrade. NA is the best!

But then I installed a supercharger.

I think 25mm up front may be too much unless you introduce some camber. 30mm rear should be fine. Spacers do make a massive difference. I also dropped the ride height.

Had similar feelings about the OEM spoiler, hated it at first but now it's kinda growing on me. I may still change it out later on though.

I think the Aero wing on the GT86 looks awful not a grower for sure.. but then someone must have thought it looks great!

I liked the stock BRZ spoiler so much that I bought it from a WRB and put it on my FRS.




Anyhoo... when I had the car for the first week or so, my back and neck was aching due to the seats. Got used to it and adjusted the positions accordingly. Still feels like the car is giving me a hug every morning.

The BRZ limited spoiler has grown on me as well. Especially since it's somewhat functional in lowering CoD.

Stock spoiler still reminds me of a mountain ram.

It's actually backward for me on the Limited wing. I loved it when I bought my car, now I'm trying to swap the trunk and put a Fiveaxis spoiler. Looks much, much cleaner.
