Whats your favorite mod that you have done to your FR-S so far?
 

The title says it all. I want to know what your favorite modification that you have done to your FR-S (or brz) so far is. It can be anything from interior/exterior mods to performance engine/suspension mods. Tell me why you like it the most out of the things you have done! What is your least favorite mod, that you regret investing money/time in (if any)? I'm looking to purchase an FR-S after this winter, so I'd like to get some ideas of (and I'm sure others are also wondering) what mods people really like and what mods seem better at first than they really are.

My favorite mod is not my Tein H-Tech springs ( wich are wonderful) , it's my Chrome Amber bulbs

The only mod of any type that I've done so far to my FR-S is purchased and installed the BRZ trunk lid liner. I run with the rear seats in the folded position and the liner just makes the whole back end look a little cleaner. Next will be the silencer for the cabin engine noise maker.

1- tires/wheels(grippier heavier/lighter wider) ....if you have no mods do this unless drifting is yo thang
2- multi map racerom stg1 perrin tune custom built for my elevation/driving/me
3- perrin overpipe (to eliminate the TQ dip south out of driving range)
4- brake pad and fluid upgrade(ferrodo ds2500 and motul 600)


next Vortech sc...

How do they ride compared to stock? Are they much stiffer?

Fa20club stage 2 tune. it's a very different car now.

Tap'd from my G-Nex

I have them too they ride great, not stiff at all. My favorite mod is either my wheels and tires or my Motiv Test Pipe.

Not much stiffer, same stiffness up front than a BRZ, slightly stiffer rear, one inch lower, I picked those because of those specs and don't regret at all, only needs wheel spacer to match the camber increase in rear from the drop and in front from OEM camber bolts

rear foglight

Nameless axleback, love the sound, and the clean look- the way it should have looked stock.

aFe Takeda exhaust. Going to be doing a headunit replacement next.

X2... Sounds excellent cruising and a nice growl pedal down.

Injen intake.

5 axis kit

x940bt headunit

All the chassis bracing I've done: full set of Cusco Powerbraces, front strut tower bar w/ brake cylinder brace, TRD door stabilizers. It might not have raised my performance limits like an anti-sway bar or set of coilovers could have, but the feedback and predictability of the chassis now is such that I can easily and reliably find those very limits easily, and hold it at the ragged edge all day long. In other words, I can make my FR-S sit up and do tricks like a well trained show pony.

My 2 favorite mods so far are the SRT headerback exhaust and my now functional extra rear taillight between the reverse lights, wired to rear sidemarker light.

So far, the Invidia N1 cat back.

28 shipped, 25 if you get a pully too ;) ^_^

Motiv test-pipe .. soon to be T1R 70R exhaust

Very nice. It seems like I'm going to have to look into the nameless axleback after I break her in in the spring. I'm glad to hear that the H-tech springs don't hurt ride quality too much. Does anyone know how these compare to the Eibach Pro kit springs? Did those of you that went with lowering springs look into OEM style replacement shocks? I know a lot of adjustable coilover kits are out there, but how about a set of shocks that allow for the lower height that have similar or improved damping rates to the stock shocks (with a little more longevity and quality)? Has anyone started producing these yet? I had a set of bilsteins on my prelude back in the day at stock ride height and it made it handle pretty well, and also still rode well.

Nameless Performance Axleback...not a single dislike about it, the guys at the shop kickass too!! First and Favorite. Then replacing the rear SwayBar with a fatter WRX one...let it Slide!!!

My fave

LOL... awesome.

Invidia N1 Catback. It's just quality for the money and the car seems to have responded well despite having no tune.
