Good idea. I should just do that in some kind of red/black carbon fiber wrap. *inspired*

Very nice build! I want to do a build thread too but the things I want done aren't anything that haven't been done before, haha.

The promised pics. STi Springs go in on the 30th and wheels will put on shortly after.

Enjoy!

Looks fantastic! I need to check this out in person sometime.

Thank you! Love everything the way to turned out. I said to myself I would keep the satin silver panels...well I am glad I changed them up!

Springs were installed today. Will see how they sit after they settle but already I noticed a difference in the cars personality. Much tighter turn, little less body roll, and a little more bumpy, as expected but with the bumps it is smoothed out more than the stock springs. So basically I feel more bumps but the initial bump is a lot smoother.

Congrats on the springs, I'm debating on whether I want just the sport springs or the entire strut and spring set up...what did you decide to do if you don't mind me asking?

looks sweet! Any plans on a lowering it/suspension?

Just the springs. I do not like slamming a car. I did a Koni STR and Eibach spring setup on my Integra before. Loved it but it was too harsh in Nebraska. I currently love the STi Pinks on the stock struts right now. When those give, then I will find alternatives.

Yes, I just got the STi pink springs installed. About a .5 inch drop all around. Also have the Cusco Strut tower bars installed front and rear.

I like the look of a slammed car, but my BRZ is my DD so slamming isn't very practical for me, especially since I'm gonna get the STi lip kit within a month or two...I like how the springs drop the car only 0.5 inch, very subtle but still noticeable, can't wait to see pics of it on yours....another quick question if you don't mind, will the STi pinks that you have fit onto the STi struts/coils (dampers) or is there a different set of springs for the struts/coils?

The STi pinks are designed for the stock struts.

At the lake getting ready to watch fireworks. She was looking good.

Showing the slight drop. Getting wheels done in a couple of weeks.

This is still sitting on 17s with the stock tires slightly stretched on a 7.5in rim.
