My BRZ Transformation!
 
Hi guys,

I've loved every mile of the 250 miles I've put on the car soo far. But it's time to go under the knife ;)

The car is at The Custom Shop in Astoria for some work. Run by an awesome guy Brett. Will post more pics as they come!

Post how you like the ride of the RCE Yellows in combination with the Sachs dampers! Looking good!!

Oh goodness. How much does it cost to get the wheels painted like that?

Looking clean so far, dude. :word:

Drambeenie, while you're in there throw some camber bolts in it.

Definitely will! I'm excited to see how they compare to the stock ride with the PP

Thanks man! The wheels were powder coated for $150/wheel. I'm really happy with how they look!

I definitely will. I think mine will be the first RCE with the Sachs dampers. Hopefully it wont be too bad of an experiment! RCE said they'd work well together but of course they would they're trying to sell a product

I was thinking about it, but honestly I'm OK with the stock set up, especially for track use. I know you can camber for better track performance, but honestly I'm not looking to set lap times. Just looking to enjoy myself.

You should pair those calipers with some GT3 brake ducts!

Dude, you've got that wrong.. HP stands for High Performance hence why they are found on the Prius.

JD001 02-02-2017 02:50 PM

Why didn't you paint the calipers the same colour as your new springs?
