TRD 86 is looking good tho. Do want!

I am implying the car is over priced as is.

I want that spoiler.. And this makes me change my mind about what rims and tires I want AGAIN.. Grrr...

Looks like they skipped over the completely adequate and logical 4 piston front, 2 piston rear brake combination and went for supreme overkill.

I like the forged wheels. Not much else though.

"Door stabilizers" And according to the article, they apparently work! And TRD has a patent for em so I guess that means they arent just bunk as-seen-on-TV mosly useless crap.

And dang only 15mm drop??

Yeah it could use a bit more of a drop to get that chin spoiler a little closer to the ground. If the threads are the same then that shift knob will find a home in my MR2 Spyder with the 6 speed and the TRD short shifter.

TRD spring drops are always relatively conservative since they focus on performance. You're gonna needs coils or bags if you want more drop. I'm going to be waiting for a solid set of coils myself. Looking for a good weekend warrior set. They'll need to be soft enough to DD then stiff enough to take to the track. I drove on stiff coils/links/sway bars in my AE86. My kidneys still hate me.

Not always. TRD used to offer more track-oriented springs back in the 80's and 90's that offered a 2+" drop on the MR2 and other cars. I wish they would offer two styles again - street and track.

what are the "Door stabilizers" going to do that is such a better upgrade? and worth the cost?

I'm loving the tiny TRD logo on the front bumper!

you don't want to drop the car anymore than the roll center allows you to. suspension on cars are not designed to be "dropped". anything more than 2" or more (depending on the car) can significantly harm the handling and suspension dynamics hence causing more body rolls and etc.

on the side note; definitely getting that rear lip wing on my BRZ, everything else seem so tacky and "rice"
