Whats your Holy Trinity of mods?
 
You get three mods. stock frs/brz. only three.

I'll start

Lowering springs, wheels & tires, and window tint.
(I get to combine wheels/tires bc I started the thread, I guess you can too)

I could waste time explaining that springs/wheels/tires offer both cosmetic AND performance upgrades, that springs are a good first mod to introduce you to your car and turning wrenches, or that I'm 31 now and think its cringey if your GF can hear you parking your car outside her place like some attention seeking teenager BUT,

I'm more interested in hearing what you guys have to say.

Differential type of guy? Brakes? S/C? Big wing!?

Tires, Ecutek, Fumoto valve

louvers, sound system, ranger badge.

Shift knob, TRD sound generator, and underglow.

I would think brake kit, baffled oil pan, oil cooler....

Now you are ready to handle uninterrupted track days before the rest of the car's limitations start to make themselves known.

Spoon engines. T66 turbo, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.
All can be ordered by Hector, he is the guy

I put 2019 brz dampers and lowering springs on (+camber bolts and alignment). Would definitely do that again if i bought another car, much more comfortable ride, and also less of the wild oversteer fest on roundabouts and track, and looked better, and fairly cheap.

1. Lowering springs
2. UEL header and custom exhaust
3. Some sort of forced induction
or
4. Engine swap for more power

If you choose number 4 then cancel number 2 and substitute a fancy wing.

Love the responses. I love it here. I wished I had really spent more time on the forums before purchasing a bunch of things that I didn't really need. But I rounded it up to


1. RCE Suspension
2. Tires
3. Raceseng Shift Knob


Kind of hard to pick just three, but suspension should've been my first mod, not to say OEM isn't bad, but for those who track, it is a must, even spirited drives.



Tires shouldn't really need to be explained. Yes the Primacy one are alright and induce slides, but it makes a whole world of difference when focusing on maximum grip. Paired with a great suspension, it changes your world.



I could've said brake pads, or Fumoto valve for 3, but I think a weighted shift knob is a huge quality of life improvement that adds that extra comfort for those like me that are not used to such a notchy transmission. Being able to have additional leverage during gear shifts at high speeds can improve your driving experience.

i think powers overrated, costs north of 4 grand for a jrsc, $1k for the install, 500 for the ecutek & liscence, 500 for the dynotune. take that 6 grand and buy a yamaha r6 or fz09 instead. i think its a waste trying to make your car fast, but you can spend cheap money making if feel a heck of a lot more fun.

i voted springs over coils myself, curious why you say spring too, and not coils
