New addition soon. I ordered a set of Bilstein B14s. Originally, I had plans on adding the B6 to my existing RCE Yellows. But after reading some threads about it, I decided the combo would've been to harsh for the crappy streets where I live. I heavily considered the HKS Hypermax G, but it would've taken a long time, and a special order in order to get them.

Been looking at those for down the road on the BRZ I'm picking up shortly. Definitely interested in your feedback.

Nice pickup!

Somebody local ran those for a while and had lots of nice things to say about them.

Will certainly do. The plan is to run these in the summer months and then the OEM Shocks with RCE yellows during winter. Should be a nice comparison.

rice_classic ran these for a season in his T4 race car with class mandatory eibach springs and did well with them.

Warmer weather cannot come soon enough. Now I just need a quick jack.

Overrated. I feel guilty about not using mine more because it was a Christmas gift from Mrs. Ultra.

My offer still stands! I'm telling you, lifting the car and then using jack-stands on a gravel driveway is nerve racking.



I will need to replace the transmission and differential fluids very soon, along with future brake work. Plus the fact that I plan on switching suspensions depending on season. A quickjack is exactly the tool that I need.

Continuing over here so we dont hijack that guy’s thread.

I have 17x8 +35mm wheels, and I believe its 225r17 tires. So very close to stock. I believe that if I don’t touch the existing settings on the coilovers I should be good, but I just want to cover my bases. See if I would need anything else other than the OEM I would be reusing.

Very nice picture of the car by the way.

Ordered a SARD FRP wing. Though not needed at all, and not necessarily because race car. I just fell in love with it when I saw it in person. I think it gives the car some personality.

Question, did you order the additional rubber blocks for the pinch welds?
