OE wheels and tires. They actually have surprisingly good grip once you give them a good suspension.

Did a few 3rd gear pulls for datalogging, and ran my best run through Virtual Dyno. Pretty happy with the results, but I thought I'd be a little higher with all my mods. After I get my headers installed on Tuesday, I'm gonna do a few more runs to see how much of a change it made.

[QUOTE=ftc~brz;1724723]where in bmore are you? We have dog sized rats close by. I haven't had this happen, yet. Just curious though.

I live on Bird River in White Marsh off rt. 40 so I do see musk rats and beavers (usually the big hairy ones but occasionally the elusive bald beaver)

I blacked out my stock tail light housings a while back. Here is how they look on a black BRZ:







I've since sold them to another forum member and installed Tom's tail lights.

Umm... I knew that already, I just didn't add the braces portion to my description

PERRIN FR-S / BRZ Front Control Arm Braces

Thanks for noticing though...

And here are the results
very smart!

They look very good, but not as good as the Tom's or Valentis would be. Thanks for the reference.

I drove some twisty roads this morning and holy crap is the car amazing with the Bilstein B8's with RCE Tarmac springs. Everything else in my suspension is stock as are my wheels and tires. The increased camber in the rear has really made the car stick to the road more in the turns. I was easily able to go 5-10 mph faster in each turn than I had previously before the back end would start to dance. The feeling of driving it hard in the twisties with the new setup was like having sex for the first time with a new girlfriend.
