one2oneJackpot's 2016 Subaru BRZ Series.HyperBlue
Picked her up on 01/19/16. Had the rims, tires, & StopTech sport brakes put on. Did the rest of the work myself.
Enkei Performance GT7 in HyperSilver w/locks Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position tires StopTech Sports Brake Kit - pads, slotted rotors & stainless steel braided lines Tein H-Tech springs TRD Sway bar set TRD Quick shifter Borla Cat-Back with rear diffuser K&N Typhoon Short Ram intake STI Body kit STI clear side markers Chrome fender trim Chrome Subaru & BRZ name plates Viper 2-way Remote Start & Alarm WeatherTech Digital fit floor liner set Subaru Kicker Sub with bass limiter (definitely needed, too much mid bass) Subaru trunk mat that I got to fit with the sub with no modifications Red STI starter button from 2015 Series.Blue SPT blue Oil cap & battery tie down. Toyota Corolla cargo net (fits perfect) Scion sliding center console (still working with upholster for stitching match) Scion mudguards that I need to retrofit with a dremmel & smooth file. Near future plans, upgrade the battery, either Optima or Die Hard. (Bad Chicago weather) Change out stock speakers, most likely Polk db 6.5" components & 3.5" coaxial speakers. Will 4" fit in front & rear? I never been disappointed with Polk Audio. But, really looking for 2 ohm 6.5" woofers for the doors. Dynamat door kit & rear panels. I haven't decided if I want to add my Alpine 5-Channel digital app at this point, the 12" Polk DVC dB Sub/Polk box will not fit, and maybe swap the Kicker with a 10" Polk db if the dimensions & airspace works and have the Alpine app power it all. Then no need for 2ohm woofers. Spring/Summer plans, Jackson Racing C30 Supercharger with either Jackson tune or Delicious tune. I know Jackson is on 91 Octane, but that tune is solid & I plan on keeping the car legal, so no future exhaust upgrades. Unless the 2017 BRZ has new factory headers. This is just my fun car, so nothing too crazy & not looking to drive it to the limit. What do you guys think? Any suggestions? I'm keeping all the original Series.HyperBlue parts if I ever want to return to OEM. Here's some picks in progress. Hopefully better ones to come if the weather cooperates. -Bill

Update:
I decided to go with the Blistein B8 Sport Struts and Shocks which should arrive tomorrow. Now to remove the Tein H-Tech Springs and do them all over again. Sadly, the Whiteline KTA216 Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms are on backorder until 04/01. I have my Whiteline adjustable front and rear sway bar links, adjustable front camber bolts and adjustable strut brace already waiting to be put on. I'm keeping my TRD Sway bar set for now and my consider going full Whiteline in the future. For now, I'm going to wait for control arms and have a shop do it for me so they can tune the car for proper camber and toe.

Thanks! I'm doing the struts & shocks tomorrow. I mostly do all my own work. I am having Touge Factory in Wheeling doing the rear control arm & adjustable front & rear sway bar links with an alignment to get my camber dead on. I'll have them do a Jackson Racing Supercharger in the summer. They have some of there FR-S/BRZ pushing 285whp with the c30 kit. You should check them out for ideas. I just came up with what I wanted. Facebook.com/tougefactory
