I'm really interested in getting the tS rear axles, because I do plan on tracking my car. I don't plan on lowering it more than an inch and would probably stay with the tS struts if and when my stock struts wear out. However, there is a aftermarket axle that's rated at 600 hp, meaning it's beefy and would take a ton of punishment.

I don't know what the tS rear axles are rated and I don't plan on boosting my car beyond 280-290 hp and 180-220 torque from a JRSC, if I ever do.

So my question is, should I save the slight bit of money and buy the drive shaft shop axle or go with the tS axle?

I'm of the belief that OEM parts are better than aftermarket for most things, but sometimes the aftermarket can do better with performance parts where the manufacturer has made compromises. what do you think?

IMHO, you should track the car first then reevaluate your thoughts on purchasing axels.

That's the one from the premium sports package. It's a gold/tan thread and really hard to dye. Ask me how I know.

Overland Designs and JPM are great ones. I got my material (leather) from Redline Goods and gave it to Overland to have it applied. However, it's about the same cost to just have the whole visor ready to go from JPM or Overland.

Those Recaro seats!!! Full of want!!

Decided to purchase, looks great in person.

Anyone installed the STI short shifter want to comment? Thanks!

My brz came with the sti short shift installed as added option, i have not driven a normal brz but i can tell you its notchy as hell and pretty tight, the throws feel great but its not very smooth, u really have to jam it in there lol much sprtier i guess

I am about to install a positive shift bush and see how it goes, it may change the feel im not too sure

There's an article on autoblog today about the tS. I thought it was interesting that the car they tested had a rebranded trd intake as STi haha I guess I can do that now

Interesting how the sound generator is still there and taped up. Lol
