Thanks it's the MV Designz kit. You can order it through mvdesignz.net retails for I think $1099.

how do you like those mtech springs?

I like them! I've got to use them on the track and it felt great. There was no guessing or miss shifts and the shift was straight forward. They stiffen the play from left to right, so when going from 2 to 3 or 3 to 4 you can just smash it in to gear pretty fast. For the price it's a noticeable difference. There's a you tube video about them also.

Your car look very good. But how do u drive around with that low clearance ? It curious me

That lip kit is outstanding.

The RPF1's and the newest wheels look the best..very sharp car!

Do the fronts rub at all being that aggressive? Someone is selling me some in white with the same specs off their WRX so I was curious how it'd fit on my BRZ.

Those wheels look really good on your car i ended up ordering a set of those. what wheel and tire size are you running?

Thanks for the input. The car looks great man :happy0180:

I'm loving your wheel setup man. You have no issues with rubbing at all? I've had a hard time finding those wheels with a wide fitment in 5x100

believe it or not, when I was scoping on colors during purchase, one of my friends knew I was crazy on Toyota and showed me a picture of an orange fr-s he came across on instagram, and it was your car! If I didn't see that I would probably not be where I am today.

I still have the picture saved on my iphone.

Not sure how low but I still have plenty of adjustment to go lower. And they ride amazing, very satisfied with them.
