Installed Racecomp Engineering Yellow lowering springs. I'm really impressed with the quality of the springs and the packaging. I made a short install video of the springs.

I did my first auto cross track day this weekend! I made a short video showing some of my runs. I'm very much a noob when it comes to track days, but it was such a great learning experience.

A quick update on the Racecomp Engineering Yellow Springs on the Sachs dampeners.

They are amazing! They really translate the road feel and soak up the bumps. They in no way disturb or negatively alter the way the car handles. The way it feels is hard to put into words, but I could feel the springs actually dampening and responding as I moved from corner to corner and hit the apex of the turns.

I've ridden in terrible coil over suspension cars and expensive brand coils before and these springs make the ride quality feel like a European quality coilover (think Ohlins and KW). I attribute a lot of the improved ride quality to the progressive nature of the springs. They really bring out and make the handling shine.

Anyways I'm sure you guys are tired of me rambling about how awesome the Racecomp Engineering Yellow springs are, but if you are in the market for springs, stop debating and just purchase the Yellows. They are worth every penny and I fully endorse them. Racecomp Engineering has made me a forever fangirl due to their quality work and research.

Heres the small video of my first autocross in the BRZ

Are your subaru emblems painted/dipped or is that a replacement emblem?

They are vinyl overlay stickers

Excited to see where this goes, loving the work so far!

QueenBRZ · 05-15-2018, 08:53 PM

I installed Racecomp Engineering's Rear Swaybar and Superpro Rear Endlinks. I really enjoyed installing these two suspension pieces, because you can tell the parts are quality and they will not break like other brands.

Great videos and follow-up experiences. I'm considering the RCE yellows and this type of documentation helps. Looking forward to seeing more, and a little jealous on how much you've done such a short time.

QueenBRZ · 05-20-2018, 11:35 PM

I installed the Drambeenie Spoiler risers for the 17+ BRZ. Words cannot describe how impressed I am with the quality and looks the risers provide. I've gotten so many compliments and people interested in the Drambeenie risers because they totally change and improve the look of the BRZ. Anyways, enough talking, check out my video for my install and final thoughts.

Awesome install video! Welcome to the risers club!

QueenBRZ · 05-23-2018, 09:30 PM

Drove up to Azusa Canyon today to do a bit of a shakedown of the Drambeenie Risers. They worked with zero issues! I took some photos just to show how well they look on my car. Words cannot describe how much they improve the look of the BRZ. I'm forever a fangirl of the product!

QueenBRZ · 06-01-2018, 07:53 PM

Today I installed the Superpro rear lower control arms and Superpro toe arms. In addition, John of Cornerspeed Tuning, in Huntington Beach, CA, aligned my BRZ! I’m so happy with the way the install and alignment turned out and cannot wait to take the BRZ on a spirited drive through the canyons. Anyways check out the install video for more information.

Just a quick update, I've been shaking down and just enjoying my car. Learning all it's nuisances and how it feels with the upgrades has been the best part of it.

Yesterday I installed a cherry blossom vinyl window sticker on the rear window to make it a little more unique. I really like how it came out and love how its subtle but adds just a bit of a feminine aspect to it.
