I've been using anti-seize for almost the entire time I've had the car (2014). I think factory wheel torque is 89 ft-lb, and I just use slightly less at 85 ft-lb.

My front wheel studs are extended...

I have the same Diftech delrin bushings, and the change in steering response was very noticeable on my car. Steering immediately became more "darty" or "twitchy" driving on the freeway. To me, it was...

Funny you use Japanese brands as a standard for coilovers. While I like JDM parts, off-the-shelf dampers from Japanese companies are near the bottom of my wishlist - just above the obviously...

Aftermarket camber bolts vs the OEM crash bolts will get you more camber but are also not legal for Street class. Camber/crash bolts are totally fine for autox - my competitors and I used them, my...

It sounds a lot like rear top hats not fully torqued, or your top hat bearing has play and may need replacement if they are used units (but they're not). Just a tiny bit of looseness in torque or in...

SSR Type-C 17x7.5 +35 5x100 - [SOLD]

Sadly letting go of my SSR Type-C - one of my favorite sets of wheels. They are 17x7.5" +35 5x100, so the lower offset will look great on a BRZ/FRS/86 if you don't have a bunch of camber and if...
